Estimate
...a very pretty and expressive wine...bright and red fruity bouquet jumps from the glass in a mix of cherries, sweet cranberries, vinesmoke, gamebird, lovely soil tones and a topnote of fresh-picked thyme...vibrant, full-bodied and beautifully transparent, with plenty of red fruit at the core, tangy acids and just a wisp of backend tannin perking up the long and complex finish. Fine juice.
Pungent cherry pit, licorice and floral qualities on the fragrant nose, along with hints of game and white pepper. Juicy and penetrating in the mouth, offering black raspberry, bitter cherry and fruitcake flavors that deepen steadily through the back half.
