Estimate
...thick in tannins and supple in tangy red fruit. Seamless and substantial... Integrated oak and spice add to an earthy, complex undertone to it all.
...full-bodied, elegant style that carries plenty of ripe black plum and currant fruits intermixed with some obvious, mountain-like minerality, tobacco, and scorched earth aromas and flavors. With plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a great finish...
...nose of baked plums, sautéed herbs and tilled soil with underbrush, blackberry compote and boysenberries plus a waft of cedar. The palate is full-bodied, firm and chewy with generous black fruit preserves and a long earthy finish.
