Estimate
Ripe, spice-accented red fruit, succulent herbs and vanilla on the fragrant nose. Shows good energy and clarity on the palate, offering bitter cherry, red currant and spicecake flavors that deepen and become sweeter with aeration. Dusty tannins come up slowly on a long, red-fruit-driven finish that leaves suggestions of licorice and cola behind.
It's a mix of three clones that were aged in one quarter new French oak, which brings notes of vanilla and toast to its smooth finish.
