Estimate
Black fruits, smoked earth, chocolate, spring flowers and hints of lavender all emerge from this rich, full-bodied, concentrated wine that has terrific mid-palate depth, building tannin, hints of background oak, and a great finish.
Graphite and smoke are some of the many overtones that develop in the glass. Incisive, mountain tannins give the wine its shape and overall dimension.
...earthy nose over a baked cherries and plums core plus underbrush and smoked meat notions. Full-bodied and generously fruited with firm, grainy tannins, it finishes savory.
Elegant and refined, centered on a mix of red berry, plum and cherry flavors. Spicy and refined, with tannins that are polished yet substantive.
