Estimate
...lifted bouquet, quite floral and well defined with red berry fruit mixed with touches of chalk. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit and very nicely balanced with supple tannin...
Bright and tangy, with juicy acidity underlying the cinnamon-accented red berry and cherry flavors, coming together on the refined finish.
Ripe dark fruit, cola and vanilla aromas pick up a smoky mineral nuance and a hint of mocha with air. Broad and open-knit, offering plush black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that spread out and slowly become spicier on the back half. Shows very good intensity and a touch of dark chocolate on the subtly tannic finish...
Broad berry/cherry fruit flavors open up quickly, with lighter accents of compost and leather. This is a smooth, somewhat loose-knit wine, with pretty baking spices decorating the finish.
