Estimate
Spicy and peppery, in a stemmy way, this intense, full-bodied red delivers fresh, vibrant acidity and density, with loamy earth and dried berry notes.
...aromas of raspberry, strawberry, blood orange and sexy oak spices. Concentrated and lush, with spicy red fruit and candied rose flavors framed but not overwhelmed by smoky oak. Shows very good balance and finishes bright and sappy..
...an exotic wine laced with Asian spices, orange peel, leather, tar and spices, all of which add complexity to the dark red fruit...The finish is pointed and nicely articulated...Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
