Estimate
Elegantly structured and delicious, this fragrant red has enticing scents of ripe forest berries, iris, truffle and balsamic whiffs of camphor. Combining body and finesse, the savory, focused palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry and baking spice before an almost salty finish. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins provide support while fresh acidity keeps it well-balanced.
...hints of ripe fruit, with wild strawberry and candied raspberry followed by sweet almond and delicate spice...very smooth in texture, with tannins that are especially silky and subdued...
A dense, layered red with lightly chewy and dusty tannins. It’s full and juicy with succulent character. Balanced and rather subtle.
...powerful wine with a deep center of fruit and brawny tannins that wrap it all up. Dried cherry, red plum, rose petal, mint and spice abound.
Elegant, cool-climate kind of nose with crushed red fruit of real intensity. Minerally notes, too. Vibrant red fruit and coating tannins in equal measures. On the finish, there is a real unity of fruit and tannins. Fantastic focus and length.
