Estimate
Flavors of raspberry preserves and dried figs are peppered by violet florals, cinnamon and anise in this luminous unoaked red...plump but pristine wine packed with primary red fruit flavors and lingering on fine, persistent tannins.
Spice- and herb-accented red and blue fruit and floral scents show fine clarity and minerally lift. Sappy raspberry and boysenberry flavors smoothly blend depth and energy and show no rough edges. The floral and spice notes drive a persistent finish that features smooth tannins and a strong whiplash of juicy red fruit.
...offers a ripe, sexy style as well as complex notes of ripe red and black currants, graphite, melted licorice, and incense...ripe tannins and a layered, elegant texture...
A silky and perfumy style, with alluring raspberry and cherry coulis flavors, lined with subtle shiso leaf, incense and lavender notes. Graceful finish.
Some riper fruit here, with figs and raisins, as well as red plums. Dense, pastry-like feel to the ripe and juicy palate.
