Estimate
Expressive and polished, with a lively and complex core of black raspberry, orange zest and spiced tea flavors that build richness toward refined tannins.
Powerful, mineral- and spice-accented boysenberry, black raspberry and violet scents show excellent clarity and pick up a hint of cola with aeration. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering juicy red and blue fruit flavors that deepen steadily and take on a smoky aspect on the back half. Unfolds slowly on a very long, gently tannic finish that echoes the floral and spice notes.
...burst of strawberry and blackberry introduces a flavorful wine with a broad streak of cola. The leesy texture and underlying minerality add interest to the finish, which leaves a touch of lemon skin lingering on the palate.
