Estimate
Lots of smoky black fruits, graphite, and mineral notes emerge... ...offering full-bodied richness, beautiful mid-palate depth, and a plush, sexy mouthfeel. It still has enough underlying tannins to warrant a few years of bottle age, but it’s going to drink beautifully for a solid two decades. (August 2020)
...prances out of the glass with a pretty perfume of lavender, chocolate-covered cherries and garrigue over a core of blackcurrant cordial, plum preserves and unsmoked cigars with a waft of dried mint. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has an impressive fine-grained texture with background freshness supporting the intense black fruit layers, finishing long and earthy. 245 cases were made.
...Plum, leather and licorice accents give this mid-weight Cabernet lovely complexity. A dollop of Cabernet Franc from Beckstoffer To Kalon rounds out the blend... ...all the elements are nicely balanced.
