Estimate
Dark and brooding, but the tannins are nicely tamed, which gives the wine a striking sense of proportion. Graphite, game, smoke, lavender and grilled herb notes...an accessible, midweight wine
An attractive blackberry, cedar and black olive-scented bouquet that unfolds nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, well balanced with quite a saline, marine-influenced finish that lends this character.
Offers a ripe, sleek feel, with solid cassis and dark plum notes lined with hints of bay and tobacco, backed by a tug of earth on the slightly smoky finish.
Nose of raspberries and blackberries, underbrush, tobacco leaf, and dusty river bed. Full in body, red and black fruits with firm tannin. Pair with: Al Pastor Burrito, Grilled Tomahawk Steaks, Pulled Pork Sandwiches, and Carnitas.
