Estimate
...blackcurrant pastilles, black plum preserves and black cherry compote, followed by nuances of lilacs, licorice, new leather and garrigue. Full-bodied, firm and taut on the palate with generous, crunchy fruit and great tension, this finishes long and earthy.
...captures all of the savory intensity of Mt. Veeder in its inky fruit and intensely savory personality.
Packed with blueberry, plum and blackberry reduction flavors, the fruit easily holds the upper hand throughout. But there's ample range too, with anise, floral and sweet tobacco elements in the mix. Tarry grip holds the finish together.
