Estimate
...fabulous. Rich, exotic and explosive...captures all the best qualities of the year. Inky dark red/purplish fruit, licorice, spice, lavender and pencil shavings all run through the 2018.
Aromas of boysenberries, cloves, dried violets and some eucalyptus. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Flavorful and smooth.
...solid, balanced, nicely textured wine... Loads of spiced red and black currants, cedar wood, candied violets, and dried herb-like notes as well as a touch of chocolate emerge from the glass, and it offers firm yet ripe tannins, solid overall balance, and outstanding length.
