Estimate
This stunning wine offers strawberry-shortcake goodness, with a hint of cream. It's pretty, fine-tuned and quite young, with suggestions of rhubarb and cranberry.
Musky, deeply pitched aromas of black raspberry, cherry-cola and sassafras, plus a smoky nuance and a touch of vanilla. Sappy and penetrating on the palate, offering bitter cherry and dark berry flavors complemented by licorice and mocha. Becomes livelier with air and finishes spicy and very long, with smooth tannins adding shape to the wine's dark fruit.
Extremely well-done...blueberry, lemon and floral aromas and flavors. Medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish.
...grip of tannins blanketing the ripe, smoky cherry and floral flavors, softening on the refined, open-weave finish.
