Estimate
Full-bodied and deeply structured yet light on its feet, with expressive black olive, blackberry, crushed rock and bacon fat accents that gather richness and polish toward fine-grained tannins.
...aromas of fresh tobacco leaf, dried herbs, peat, cherry, black olive juice and crushed flowers...flavors explode on the palate, displaying mouthcoating richness, layering and broad shoulders. A violet note lingers on the seemingly endless finish.
...offers dusty, dark red-fruited aromas that waft with notions of dusty red flowers, cinnamon-spiced potpourri and dried lavender. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is balanced with a delightful mineral tension and flavors of smoked strawberries with red and black peppercorn essence. Finishing with a persistent flavor of dusty plum skin, the wine is nimble and food-friendly.
