Estimate
...smells of fresh blackberry and dark cherry mingled with licorice and laced with crushed stone, carbon, and black pepper... Fine-grained tannins are accentuated by crushed stone and fruit pit...gripping finish...
This displays tight, well-defined aromas and flavors of seductive Pinot Noir: cherry, wild berry and a subtle gamy, woodsy accent. Powered by a firm structure and though firm and curt on the finish, this shows balance and fine length.
...nose hints at licorice pastille, iron and smoky minerality, with a floral topnote. Very sweet on entry, then a real fruit bomb in the middle palate, with blueberry and blackberry flavors complicated by flowers and spices. Offers a captivating combination of density, definition and lift and finishes spicy and long, with very suave tannins.
