Estimate
...defines power and authority, Napa style...explosive in blackberry, cherry and chocolate fruit flavor...Yet the structure is superb, with firm but ultrarefined tannins providing an architecture to house all that richness...
...notes of black currants, lead pencil, tobacco leaf, and spice box. Well-made, with medium body as well as good fruit, texture, and depth...
Taut and very tightly wound, with a bundled mix of spicy dried currant, sage, mineral and deep, rich berry flavors that slowly unfold, offering more depth, richness and persistence on the finish.
