Estimate
...plenty of conifer, California bay leaf, currants, and loamy soil aromas and flavors...full-bodied beauty has plenty of tannin, terrific purity of fruit, no hard edges, and a great finish.
...notions of crushed red and black currants, warm plums and baked cherries with touches of garrigue, dusty soil and bay leaves...palate is medium to full-bodied, firm and grainy with lovely freshness and great intensity in the mouth, leading to a long, purely fruited finish.
...bright, precise and nuanced... Black cherry and plum fruit are nicely pushed forward in this soft, open-knit wine.
...impressively taut and angular in style, with an herbaceous intensity. Made in a full-bodied lushness, it has generous toasted oak and a mix of concentrated red and black cherry.
