Estimate
...intense, fragrant perfume of warm cranberries, redcurrant jelly and fresh raspberries with hints of cinnamon stick, wild sage, underbrush and damp soil plus a waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate bursts with vivacity and freshness, offering layers of red berry and earthy flavors and a very finely grained texture, finishing long and perfumed.
Classic notes of kirsch, blueberries, incense, candied violets, and kisses of cola and cedary spice all flow to a medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced Pinot Noir that has fine tannins and integrated acidity.
...super elegant and polished,... Expressive floral and savory notes give the 2017 lovely aromatic intensity, and impression that is reinforced by the wine's silky overall feel. There is no shortage of fruit intensity, but what impresses most about the 2017 is its overall balance and poise.
