Estimate
...cinnamon, dried orange peel, potpourri, dusty earth and pipe tobacco with a spicy vein over licorice, wild blackberries and soft red berry hints. The palate is light to medium-bodied and silky with intense, spicy fruits, juicy acidity and a grainy frame, finishing long and spicy.
Dark, bold and punchy, the 2017 is decidedly exuberant...terrific intensity and fruit richness. Black cherry, menthol, new leather and licorice build into the voluptuous finish.
...more upfront and expressive, with lots of bright cherry and raspberry fruit interwoven with notions of scorched earth, chocolate, earth, and dried herbs. It's another medium-bodied, nicely textured, balanced, savory Pinot Noir.
