Estimate
With blackcurrant, violet and cedar character, this a very perfumed nose. It’s full-bodied with round tannins and a savory finish.
Black cherry, dark chocolate, licorice, spice and leather add shades of nuance to this mid-weight Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon.
...notes of mocha, black olives, sautéed herbs and clove oil over a core of crème de cassis and stewed red and black plums. The medium-bodied palate has a rugged frame of chewy tannins and just enough freshness supporting the herb-laced black fruit preserves, finishing long and savory.
A touch more cassis, graphite, toasted spice, violets, and tobacco...nicely balanced, medium-bodied effort offering plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, and a good finish.
