Estimate
...a nose of cinnamon stick, charcuterie, baked cranberries, raspberries and boysenberry with oodles of violet and lilac perfume, licorice, tea leaves and fragrant earth. Light to medium-bodied, it’s bright, inviting and intense in the mouth with wonderful layering of earth, spice, amaro and floral notions. It’s energized by juicy acidity and structured with finely grained tannins, finishing long and flavorful.
Stewed black fruit fills a dense texture-packed core of tannin and pronounced oak in this exuberant wine, with moderately structured acidity lending a balanced approach. Blue fruit and a touch of vanilla meet the palate head-on, showing a lifted intensity and noticeable length.
