Estimate
Savory spice meets with lavish fruit on the nose...conveying smashed figs, baked mulberries, smoked meats, oregano, gingerbread and black pepper. Baked mulberries also show on the palate, where vanilla, allspice, star anise and clove make for a rich, dessert-like palate.
Suave, oak-spiced raspberry, boysenberry and rose pastille scents, complicated by cola and vanilla nuances... Juicy and focused on the palate, offering spice-tinged red fruit flavors underscored by a core of juicy acidity. Finishes smooth and gently sweet; dusty tannins contribute shape and backbone.
