Estimate
...crazy, exotic bouquet of black and blue fruits, blood orange, and leafy herbs. This gives way to a full-bodied Cabernet that has loads of fruit and richness, yet stays balanced and vibrant on the palate, with nicely integrated acidity and a great finish.
A precise and stylish red, with layered black cherry and bay leaf notes that gather richness and polish toward fine-grained tannins.
A strikingly pure cassis nose with sappy fresh-herb notes, too. The palate has a sleek, polished and sturdy edge with greenish, leafy notes and a fresh, sappy finish.
...lush nose with a juicy core of fruit that smells slightly tart in the glass. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, the wine has a bright cherry expression that leads to a pleasing dusty minerality and surprising balance on the lingering finish.
Aromas of black raspberry, cassis, licorice, tobacco leaf and cola spices Lush, pliant and sweet, offering flavors of dark berries, sassafras and brown spices and a low-acid impression... This plush, mouthfilling wine has the sweetness to offer considerable immediate appeal... Finishes strong and long, with ripe tannins and a saline quality.
