Estimate
Spice-accented black raspberry and cherry-cola scents show fine clarity and take on floral and vanilla nuances with air. Juicy and well-concentrated, showing strong lift to its sweet red/blue fruit, candied rose, mocha and spicecake flavors. Hints of woodsmoke and exotic spices carry through an impressively long, smooth finish that's framed by polished, steadily building tannins.
Very loamy, with hints of redwood to the refined dried red fruit and berry flavors, showing accents of white pepper midpalate. Ends with fresh-crushed cooking spice notes on the finish.
Enticing cinnamon and black-currant aromas are followed by mouthfilling, juicy black-cherry and raspberry flavors in this big but well-balanced wine. It offers gorgeous fruit, generous oak spices and a good, lingering finish.
It shows the longer élevage on the nose with its more savory cherry, baking spice, red plum, and dried orange peel aromatics. These carry to a medium to full-bodied Pinot Noir in a well-oaked, nicely balanced, length style.
