Estimate
Rich, with an exotic tilt to the loganberry, mulberry and fig preserve flavors. Really packed, delivering anise, black tea, singed mesquite, sweet tobacco and ganache accents that all play a part, while a racy cast iron spine holds it all together.
Fruit-tea, blackberry, tile and ripe-fruit aromas follow through to a full body with density and richness. Chocolate and walnut. Dense and seamless with super fruit and length. Lots of fruit. Very polished. Stylized. All the cabernet franc on the estate is in the wine.
Full-bodied, with beautiful tannins, a great mid-palate, and certainly no shortage of length on the finish...
...aromas of cherries, sweet berries, warm spices, violets and loamy soil... Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it's a broad, textural wine with a richly layered core of fruit, succulent acids and ripe, supple tannins that reflects the warm, dry vintage.
...great ripeness with elegant black fruits and succulence, rich and dense. It has beautiful black, spicy fruits.
...well-defined bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and truffle...palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fleshy and pure. A sweet core of fruit with an almost candied and very flattering finish.
