Estimate
It has a Southern Rhône-like bouquet of ripe berry fruits, ground pepper, smoked earth, and even a touch of exotic orange blossom. Supple, medium to full-bodied, fruit forward, and already delicious...
...gorgeous perfume of warm peach cobbler, apricot, brown sugar crumble, chocolate-covered cherries, raspberries, blue fruit preserves and hints of olive and charcuterie...medium to full-bodied, slowly fleshing out in the mouth, framed with gently chewy tannins and juicy acidity on the long, layered finish.
Appealingly old-school, briary and zesty, but well-crafted, offering blueberry and cherry flavors, accented by notes of tarragon, dark Asian spices and cracked pepper.
...wonderfully alive and vibrant. Bright acids and floral aromatics add an attractive upper register to the red cherry, plum and pomegranate fruit. Energetic and poised...a star. There is so much to like here.
