Estimate
More chalky minerality, chocolate, tobacco leaf, and assorted red and black fruits...full-bodied, rich, textured, ripe mountain Cabernet that has sweet tannin, plenty of fat and opulence, and outstanding length.
...scented of cassis, blueberries, cedar, vanilla and dried herbs...full-bodied palate is soft and juicy with a balance of concentrated fruit and youthful new oak spice and a long, floral finish.
Dark and winey, with generous steeped black currant, fig and blackberry flavors at the core, backed by a sparkle of anise, a deep tug of warm earth and cast iron notes.
This generously oaky wine offers a plush, broad mouthfeel that cradles extra-ripe black cherry, dark chocolate and blackberry flavors and coats the palate. The wine is rich, almost thick, with cinnamon, vanilla and cocoa accents and hints of sweetness on the finish.
Quite a ripe nose, full of minty blackberries and vanilla. Rich and sweet-fruited on the palate, with nice dark-chocolate bitterness at the end. Mealy tannins throughout.
