Estimate
A killer Zin that balances sheer power with a lively structure of acidity and tannins. Floral dark berry, licorice and Asian spice aromas combine with ripe, fleshy and complex flavors of blackberry and smoky cracked pepper.
... Crushed flowers, sweet red cherries, tobacco and mint build in an effortless, gracious wine long on class and personality... Papera, one of Sonoma's heritage sites, was planted in 1934.
... a big sweet kiss of black cherries and a somewhat monolithic mouthfeel, but with coaxing starts to offer up ripe strawberry, damp earth, wild mulberry and briary mountain berry notes... chewy, with good acidity and freshness...
