Estimate
Aromas of soft red and white flower petals lift from the glass with a purity of fruit as delightful orange zest and potpourri essences sway on the nose. Medium to full-bodied...picturesque with a sincere and vivid profile, immaculate structure and impeccable balance. It offers flavors of hung sausage and rose petals with notions of red and black spice tones before concluding with a long, lingering finish that begs me back for more. This is absolutely stellar juice! Bravo!
...offers a seamless, layered, multi-dimensional style in its sweet black raspberry, currant, leafy herb, charcoal, spring flower, and violet-laced aromas and flavors. More medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has flawless balance, ultra-fine tannins, a thrilling core of sweet fruit, and one hell of an impressive finish.
An expressive nose of cracked black pepper, black cherry and an array of dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with incredible spicy character. So much going on here. Silky, fruit-soaked tannins. The supple dark fruit is accented by peppercorn, dried ginger, bay leaf, basil and oolong. Umami. Superb.
...stunning, finesse-driven, very stony...with orange blossom and citrus rind tones that combine with soy sauce, black olive tapenade and pretty white pepper dusted red fruits. Very fragrant, you are drawn back to the glass for more aromatic enjoyment...vibrant and also very seamless, with a lengthy finish and a wonderful douse of salinity and stony undercurrents.
...launches from the glass with an eyes-rolling-back-in-your-head bouquet that blends exotic florals and wet stones with white pepper, seared meats and green olive. It washes across the palate with a salty mix of ripe black fruits and minerals. Nuances of sage come forward toward the close...almost-juicy in character, guided by vibrant acidity, and a twang of sour citrus and licorice that lingers on through the lavender-tinged finale...a real head-turner.
...aromas bring notes of orange oil, black pepper, olive and firepit...palate is svelte and flavorful, mixing fruit and savory. Soot notes linger on the finish.
