Estimate
Aromas of blackcurrants, black licorice, thyme and violets. Full-bodied with silky, taught tannins. Juicy and vibrant on the palate with well-balanced acidity. Berry flavors. Great tension here.
Very solid, with singed alder and warm earth accents running along the edges of a core featuring steeped plum, boysenberry and blackberry compote. Not shy with the fruit but has the spine for balance.
...red and blue-fruited, medium to full-bodied, elegant Cabernet Sauvignon...nicely integrated background oak, some classic Cabernet herbal, earthy, floral nuances, fine tannins, and outstanding length.
...full-bodied... Gentle herbal notes suggestive of thyme accent cassis and blackberries on the nose, while the finish is marked by crispness, with mouthwatering acids and dusty tannins.
