Estimate
...notions of crème de cassis, blueberry pie and mulberries with touches of mocha, Indian spices and lilacs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has an impressive backbone of super ripe, fine-grained tannins and lovely freshness supporting the muscular black fruit, finishing long and earthy/minerally.
Inky, voluptuous and racy, the Sugarloaf possesses tremendous textural intensity from start to finish. Super-ripe red cherry fruit, mocha, spice, licorice and espresso saturate the palate. Plush fruit and silky tannins make this exciting Cabernet...
...cassis, forest-floor, mushroom and dried -lower aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, but not overdone, with firm, chewy tannins that give it a dusty texture. The finish shows a blue-fruit note and crushed stones.
...bright black and blue fruit notes as well as lively, unevolved notes of violets, sappy flowers, and tobacco. More cedar pencil and almost Saint-Julien-like notes come through on the palate, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, with ripe, seamless tannins and a great finish.
