Estimate
Dark cherry, sweet sage, light cardamom cream and a steely minerality are expertly integrated on the nose of this bottling from an iconic vineyard...hearty wine on the palate, loaded with both roasted cherry and taut raspberry, but it's the array of chaparral herbs, from wild thyme to juniper and bay leaf, that provide the most intrigue.
Well-structured, with forest floor notes to the dried cherry and berry flavors. Good cut on the spicy finish, which features a minerally richness.
