Estimate
Deep-pitched black and blue fruit, licorice and pungent floral qualities on the powerfully scented nose. Broad and fleshy in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, cassis and salty olive flavors that become more lively and turn sweeter on the back half. Smoothly blends power and energy and finishes long and spicy, with a hint of smokiness and slowly mounting tannins.
...has rocking notes of crème de cassis and crushed blackberries to go with obvious minerality, violets, and earthy notes. Deep, rounded, and opulent on the palate, it has remarkable purity of fruit, fine tannins, and considerable charm.
Quite a complex nose with a fresh, spicy, red and dark-fruit edge with pepper and graphite. The palate has some bite and cut in the tannin department and a smooth, brambly finish.
A kiss of char accents shades of vanilla and nutmeg in this medium-bodied Syrah matured predominantly in one- to three-year-old oak. Black cherry and cassis flavors are zesty and spry, lifted by a pristine mineral edge and firm, lingering tannins.
...armloads of dark fruit and black olives alongside hints of mocha and graham crackers...full-bodied effort is silky and elegant from start to finish.
Juicy dark cherry and black currant fruit is mixed with anise, apple wood and pepper notes. Reveals a light brambly echo through the finish.
