Estimate
Broad-shouldered and generous, this red layers in deep blackberry and cherry flavors, picking up mocha espresso and dusky spice accents as this moves toward polished tannins.
...uses fruit from 12 different vineyards, from the Royal Slope to the Horse Heaven Hills. Aged in 37% new oak, the aromas are brooding, with notes of sautéed dried herb, leaf, bittersweet chocolate, cocoa and red fruit. The palate is sumptuous, elegant and all about restraint. It's a very pretty offering, but with sneaky heft behind it.
Ripe red fruit, sweet tobacco and vanilla on the nose. Full-bodied with silky tannins. Linear, straightforward and balanced.
