Estimate
Lively, with bay leaf and sassafras streaks racing through in lockstep with ripe cassis and plum puree notes, ending with a sleek, focused finish.
Aromas of pine, cinnamon, dried blackcurrant and fruit peel...medium-bodied with sleek tannins and a creamy, chocolatey finish.
A small addition of Petit Verdot adds to the full-bodied power of this wine, approachable in its well-integrated tannin and oak. Brawny blackberry and currant ride alongside mocha, vanilla and woody toasted notes.
Darker currant fruits, vanilla oak, spice, and a hint of tobacco give way to a medium to full-bodied, textured, balanced 2018...
