Estimate
A 100% varietal wine, this is an impressive effort, mingling together rich and forward flavors of blackberry cobbler and chocolate around a softly layered yet richly woven core of concentration and power. Decadent, it finishes with a welcoming smoky hint.
Racy, powerful and intense with loads of dark cherry, mocha and exotic spice flavors, shows the most sumptuous side of the vintage.
Aromas of dried orange, currant and blueberry with some crushed stone. Full body, firm and silky tannins.
...has loads to love. Currants, plums, espresso, and hints of oak all emerge from this nicely concentrated, plump, fleshy, beautifully concentrated 2014 that has ripe tannin and good purity of fruit...
