William Harrison 2006 Estate Bottled Rutherford Red (Rutherford)
- $80
This Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend is very fine, and shows the classic structure of Rutherford. The tannins are rich and dusty, and there’s a sour candy taste to the red and black cherries, enriched with smoky oak. With a long, richly spicy finish, it should easily negotiate the next 6–8 years in the cellar.

William Harrison 2005 Estate Red (Rutherford)
- $80
A Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon, and quite a good one. Shows classic Rutherford character, with black and red sour cherry, violets, anise and sandalwood flavors, framed in firm, dusty tannins. A lovely bottle that should get better with time. Now through 2013.

William Harrison 2006 Estate Bottled Cabernet Franc (Rutherford)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $45
A lovely wine that makes the case for bottling Cab Franc on its own. Shows beautifully ripe, fine Napa tannins with complex flavors of red cherries, red currants, licorice, cola and cedar. Think of it as a Cabernet Sauvignon that’s lighter in body and more elegant.

William Harrison 2006 Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- Cellar Selection
- $50
Harrison’s Cabernet is a bit hard in youth, marked by strong tannins that make for an astringent mouthfeel. It’s also somewhat linear in varietal flavor, with ripe black currants and blackberries and a certain minerality. Not drinkable now, but all indications are for a good future. Better after 2012.

William Harrison 2005 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $50
Made in a super-ripe style, this Cab erupts in jammy black cherries, with notes of chocolate, licorice, herbs and cedar. Very dry and fairly firm in tannins, giving it a sandpapery texture. Better after 2010.

William Harrison 2007 Rutherford Red (Rutherford)
- Online Exclusive
- $80
Starts off with oaky, jammy aromas of cherries and raspberries, and tastes a little sweet in fruit pastry, with the baked crust. Seems a little one-dimensional, although that dimension is a very delicious one. Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.

William Harrison 2002 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Rutherford)
- $45
Here’s an oaky wine, sending out powerful waves of vanilla, toast and woodspice. The oak carries through in the mouth, where it joins ripe, sweet cherry and mocha flavors. Drink now.
