Estimate
Saturated with black cherry, black currant, violet and licorice aromas and flavors, this red is both firm and expressive. Dusty tannins leave a grip on the spice- and earth-tinged finish.
Rich and dramatic...aromas of berry conserve, dark chocolate, sweet spices and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, rich and muscular, it's powerful and layered...
Generous wood and menthol elements stop just short of being intrusive while merging with the essence of red cherry, plum and softly spiced aromas. There is a bit more size, weight and richness to the attractively textured mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that are delicious and bright, all wrapped in a lingering if ever-so-mildly rustic finale.
