Estimate
...intense, singular and pure aromatics: cranberry, rhubarb and blueberry are accented by fine touches of conifer, aniseed, iron and pipe tobacco, and it continues to shift and change...medium-bodied palate is powerful, offering highly concentrated, detailed fruit and a support of abundant, powdery tannins...seamless, energetic acidity and haunting streaks of spice and earth that fan across the tremendously long finish.
...seduces with a deep core of autumnal spice, lavender, cola and dried black cherries. Cool-toned and silky smooth, this washes across the palate with ripe red fruits guided by juicy acidity. Hints of sour citrus and tart raspberry linger as the 2021 finishes with medium length and near-impossible freshness.
Shows finesse and detail, with youthful and multilayered cherry and raspberry flavors highlighted by spiced tea, mineral and fresh tarragon flavors that finish with refined tannins.
Aromas of marionberries and earthy petrichor are a match made in Oregon. Chewy tannins in no way detract from the wine's black-cherry and black-pepper flavors.
