Estimate
Spice-accented, primary red berry and cherry aromas are complemented by a suave floral nuance that builds with air. Juicy, seamless and lively on the palate, with a peppery note adding spicy bite to sweet raspberry, cherry preserve and rose pastille flavors. Finishes smooth, focused and quite long, with lingering florality and gently gripping that add shape and subtle grip.
Toasty and detailed, this mixes a pleasing mineral streak with fruit flavors of strawberries and cherries. Light streaks of cola, cocoa and brown sugar bring more complexity through a long, satisfying finish. A complex wine...
Gracefully layered and expressive, with agile raspberry and blueberry flavors accented by hints of forest floor and loamy mineral, building toward refined tannins.
...opens with savory aromas of tar, scorched earth, dried tobacco leaves and burnt orange peel, with time giving up cranberries, Bing cherries, desiccated roses and underbrush...light to medium-bodied and earthy with very juicy acidity, grainy tannins and a long, bitters-tinged finish...a lovely, delicate, cool-climate style.
