Estimate
Lots of red and black fruits, iron, smoked meats, leather, and peppery spicy nuances...medium to full-bodied...focused, structured mouthfeel, plenty of tannins, and a great finish.
...very pretty aromas of roasted coffee beans, charcuterie, green olives, wild thyme and a core of wild berry fruit. The medium-bodied is supple, juicy and surprisingly easy to drink, finishing long and flavorful.
...dark, brooding wine...blast of dark fruit, leather, graphite, licorice and cloves hits the palate, wrapped together by driving, muscular tannins...long on personality and character...huge, dense wine.
Plump and supple, with generous raspberry and huckleberry flavors that reveal details of mocha and savory spices, finishing with refined tannins.
Round and transparent and lots of fun. Sweeter than the stereotype for the varietal.
