Estimate
...super-impressive wine... It combines some of the ethereal feel of the Julia’s with the weight of the Sea Smoke. If that sounds appealing, believe me, it is...loaded with class and finesse.
Intensely perfumed nose offers an array of red and dark berry scents, along with Asian spices, smoky minerals and sassafras. Broad and sappy in the mouth, with fresh raspberry and blackberry flavors, a velvety texture and slow-building oak spices...finishing spicy and long, with gentle tannins.
...a big, ripe, full-bodied Pinot Noir...never loses balance, by virtue of the brisk acids, silkiness and dry finish. This wine always impresses for its sheer, Incredible Hulk volume.
...beam of spicy floral aromatics and firm blackberry, wild berry, spice and boysenberry flavors that linger, ending with crushed rock.
