Estimate
…a wild, exotic wine... super-ripe fruit, spice, lavender and mint all meld together in this concentrated, dramatic Pinot...a very beautiful freak.
…very sexy perfume of violets, licorice, dark chocolate and black raspberries with wafts of forest floor and potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is packed with rich, earth-laced and spicy black fruits with plush tannins...
The nose offers a sense of peatiness, like a good Scotch. Tart orange and grapefruit define an essential crispness to the fruit, as crushed rock and rose petal play along. The tannins and oak are soft and seamlessly interwoven.
Loaded with notions of cedary spice, black peppery, tart cherries, strawberries, and hints of chocolate, it has bright, racy acidity, a core of sweet fruit, and a good finish…terrific wine.
