Wine Review: This deep purple colored Syrah from Lasseter opens with a complex array of aromas featuring mulberry, smoked meat stick, and chocolate along with hints of peppercorn, olive, black currant, and saddle leather. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, robust, savory, and fresh. The flavor profile is a chocolate and black licorice blend with notes of stony minerality and blueberry. We also detected hints of cedar, cola, blackberry, and tobacco. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and moderate tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this Syrah with Emeril’s pan-roasted duck breast. 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.
