Estimate
Powerful and delicious, starting with fragrant dried violet notes and giving way to juicy, thick blackberry and huckleberry flavors, with details of black licorice, tobacco, spice box and candied violet.
A great effort...reveals abundant floral notes intertwined with sweet blueberry and blackberry fruit, no evidence of wood, and a full-bodied, pure, intense palate. It has more texture than many Petite Sirahs.
Musky, wild aromas of blackberry, violet and pepper complicated by saline and meaty nuances reminded me of syrah. Supple, juicy and sweet, showing a nicely refined texture to its flavors of blackberry, spices and pepper.
