Estimate
Big, rich and creamy, with concentrated plum tart and dark cherry flavors, backed by medium-grained tannins. Lilting dried green herbal notes show midpalate, leading to a finish that offers chocolate mousse accents.
Tempting, spicy aromas and deep flavors make this full-bodied wine especially appealing as scents of cinnamon, nutmeg and cedar lead to nicely tangy but indulgent black-cherry, black-tea and raspberry flavors. Moderate tannins and snappy acidity counter the ripeness to great effect.
...ripe black cherry and mulberry fruits as well as plenty of loamy earth and spice...great core of sweet fruit, medium-bodied richness and depth, and a clean finish. It's impeccably made.
