Estimate
Powerful smoke- and spice-accented red berry liqueur and cherry scents take on notes of allspice and cola as the wine opens up. Sweet and round on the palate; juicy blackberry and floral pastille flavors show appealing spiciness and a touch of anise. Powerful yet energetic, delivering strong finishing punch and silky, slow-building tannins that fold smoothly into the juicy fruit.
A complex pinot noir with rose petals, orange skin, cherries and grapefruit. Medium body...opulent finish.
The ripe, plummy fruit is swathed in rich brown spices, a sweet streak of molasses, and notes of tobacco and black tea.
