Wine Review: This pitch-black colored Malbec based wine from Lasseter opens with a shy dark cherry and black plum bouquet with some earthy hints. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, super smooth, and fresh. The flavor profile is a gentle blackberry and stone dust blend with notes of mild cherry and oak. We also detected hints of cocoa and a touch of hard black licorice. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and integrated fine tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this Malbec with braised short ribs. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Interview Series – Cole Ballentine of William Cole – Jan 2026

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, we interviewed Cole Ballentine once again. Cole is the co-winemaker, with his father William Ballentine Jr., at William Cole Winery. We first interviewed Cole when we covered his super-premium Predecessor Estate wines in April of 2025. This time around, we covered six wines from the William Cole winery. We started with a 2023 Chardonnay. Then we tried a 2022 red blend. From there, we covered four Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Those Cabs were from the following vintages: 2018, 2022, 2016, and 2009. It was a terrific portfolio tasting. In this post, you can learn what is new with Cole, learn about the William Cole Winery, and read our reviews of all of these impressive wines.
