Estimate
An opulent pinot noir that shows flowers, dried strawberries, blackberries and orange peel. Medium to full body, firm and tight tannins and a vertical and long finish.
With its sophisticated mix of mineral, acid and tart fruits, this seductive effort pleases from start to finish. Supple and dense, it's got strawberry, blueberry, plum and black cherry, a touch of chocolate, and that underlying streak of mineral. All these elements are in good proportion and finish with an appealing silky texture.
Discreet at first but then slowly blooms into a supple and rich wine. Raspberry and spice aromas open to subtly powerful cherry, dark tea and orange peel flavors that finish with polished tannins.
...notions of red currant jelly, Black Forest cake and chocolate mint with hints of black pepper, fertile soil and cloves, plus a waft of cedar. Medium to full-bodied, the concentrated berry preserves flavors fill the mouth with voluptuous fruit, focused by firm, grainy tannins and a crisp backbone, finishing long and fruity.
