Estimate
...A nuanced wine, it shows winemaker John Abbott in top form with its rich, layered fruit flavors, dazzling sense of texture and lengthy finish...
Broad and open-textured, with nubby tannins around a focused core of black cherry, roasted meat and sage flavors, picking up a chocolate note as the finish lingers.
... Musky, slightly reduced aromas of black cherry, espresso and smoky, nutty French oak... Fine-grained, glyceral and dry, showing sneaky intensity and lovely inner-mouth lift to its dark fruit, spice and mocha flavors...ripely tannic, long aftertaste...
