Estimate
The rich, voluptuous side of the vintage comes through... bitter chocolate, plums, smoke, licorice and menthol... Even with all of the rich fruit, there is plenty of underlying structure lurking beneath... intense, palate-staining finish.
Offers a tight, firm mix of ripe plum, black cherry, wild berry and spice that's framed by vibrant acidity and gripping tannins, making this one of the most tannic of the Beringer single-vineyard bottlings.
Blackberry, cassis, black cherry and licorice on the very primary nose. At once silky and densely packed, with excellent depth to the black fruit, mineral and violet flavors. .... Finishes with suave, seamless tannins
