Estimate
A dense ruby/purple color is followed by a wine exhibiting notes of creme de cassis, subtle and unobtrusive oak, medium to full body, impeccable balance and everything synchronized into a lush, opulent wine...
...Perfumed aromas of currant, black cherry, espresso, milk chocolate and flowers...essence of Napa Valley cabernet. Enters the palate like silk...builds slowly...offering a lovely light touch and plenty of inner-mouth aromatic character...
...Ageworthy and complex, with enormously ripe, rich fruit, classic chocolate, cassis plus cream and spice from new oak..smoothly voluptuous now, it goes down like velvet, but the tannin-acid balance will easily hold this wine through 2015.
