Estimate
...elegant Zinfandel notes of blackberries, black raspberries, leafy herbs, spice, and cedar...deep, perfectly balanced, and nuanced...
...opening out to reveal bags of preserved black cherries, dried mulberries, prunes and chocolate mint suggestions with nuances of kirsch, spice box, underbrush and tilled soil plus a waft of rose hip tea. Full-bodied and boldly fruited in the mouth, it has a firm frame of plush tannins and fantastic freshness lifting the seductive spiced berry preserves layers to a long, earth-laced finish.
...attractive, smoky nuances, as well as a very ripe and plush, dark-berry core...palate is assertively delivered with an impressively rich array of lithe, juicy tannins. Terrific drive and concentration.
