Estimate
Blackcurrant essence, red plums, roses, dried cranberries and chocolate undertones. Full-bodied with lots of rich yet well integrated fruit, great minerality, dusty, chewy tannins and a long finish.
...fragrant, concentrated wine offers vivid mint, cherry and clove aromas followed by rhubarb, red cherry and rosemary flavors that are focused and memorable...balance is spot-on, with good acidity and velvety tannins that brace the richness of the fruit components.
Sweet red cherry fruit, hard candy and spice notes flesh out in a decidedly plump, juicy Pinot. A touch of the wine's initial exuberance tails off on the finish, but the Gloria Estate is nevertheless very nicely done.
Shows off a nutmeg scent that works into a supple core of creamy berry, anise and underbrush flavors. Spicy finish.
