Estimate
...very pretty nose of fresh violet, lilac, peach cobbler, perfumed earth, cinnamon and nutmeg with black cherry liqueur, smoked meats and fried herbs hints. Full-bodied and huge in the mouth, it has a singular, savory palate with perfumed notes, framed by very firm, very chewy tannins, finishing very long and very layered. This is a beast!
...laced with inky dark fruit, juniper berry, sage, mint and dried herbs, all of which give the Rattlesnake Ridge its super-distinctive Howell Mountain savoriness...wild, exotic and incredibly alluring.
Deeply structured and loaded with personality, offering blueberry and blackberry flavors, laced with dried orange, sandalwood and pepper notes that persist toward burly tannins.
