Estimate
Comes across like a first-growth Pauillac... with creamy blackcurrants and blackberry fruit, some licorice, graphite, and background oak, the wine displays excellent minerality, superb fruit intensity, and a multi-dimensional mouthfeel.
Dark cherry, raspberry jam, wild flowers, chocolate, mint and sweet spices are front and center... Racy, powerful and voluptuous, the 2013 captures the personality that is typical of so many wines from this northern sector of St. Helena.
