Estimate
Fine notes of pencil shavings underscore cherry and apricot fruit in this full-bodied, rich, velvety textured wine that offers plenty of weight yet manages to retain a sense of elegance.
Lovely, with crushed plum and raspberry fruit that is ripe but fresh and racy in feel, lined with subtle violet, garrigue and singed apple wood notes. Shows a mouthwatering swath of tobacco and warm stone accents through the finish.
Black raspberry, cherry pit, licorice and pungent flowers on the nose. Bitter cherry and dark berry flavors unfold slowly and pick up a peppery quality that adds back-end spiciness. Gentle tannins frame the clinging finish, which hangs on with very good, dark-berry-tinged persistence.
A very approachable and fruit-soaked expression with layers of pastry-like tannins and plenty of ripe blue and purple berry fruit flavor.
Blackberries, roasted herbs, hints of minerality and licorice...good acidity and notable tannin.
Leathery nose with some violet aromas and dense, dark black fruit... Finishes with slight clove spiciness.
