Estimate
Fresh and vibrant, broad but not heavy, with juicy cherry, cedar and spice flavors on a taut frame, spreading nicely on the finish.
Generous and fruit-driven, this brings fully ripened black cherry and blueberry fruit into a thick core of flavor. Its tannins are coated with espresso, dark chocolate and a hint of baking spices. Flavors are solid and substantial, and the wine will continue to evolve nicely as it sheds its baby fat.
It has an open-knit bouquet with light black fruit infused with a subtle marine influence. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, supple in the mouth, and harmonious with well-integrated new oak (30%) on the finish.
