Estimate
Super, spicy and earthy complexity here...very pure core of red cherries...palate has impressively structured, fine tannins and offers a smooth array of vibrant red cherries...long, lively and intense pinot with real purity of fruit.
Spice-accented red berries, candied rose and baking spices on the highly perfumed nose. A spine of juicy acidity supports intense, mineral-driven raspberry and bitter cherry flavors, and an exotic touch of blood orange emerges on the back half. Turns sweeter on the impressively persistent, incisive finish, which is framed by even, slow-mounting tannins.
Vibrant and well-focused, with lively raspberry and tart cherry flavors that take on layers of spiced tea and rose petal and build tension toward dynamic tannins.
...opens with tar and dark fruits that flesh out with air to floral nuances...palate is soft and fresh with understated fruits and a delicate, floral finish.
...cool, pure and perfumed nose is comprised by notes of essence of red and dark raspberry along with hints of violet and sandalwood...middle weight flavors...all wrapped in a dusty, refined and slightly youthfully austere finale.
