Estimate
...blackcurrants, hot stones and violets that follow through to a full-bodied palate with creamy, polished tannins that integrate nicely on the palate and provide a delicious combination of fruit and character.
...notes of warm cassis, black cherries, blackberries and fragrant earth with hints of bay leaves and black truffles. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers mouth-coating cassis flavors with compelling herbal sparks, framed by a lively backbone and wonderfully velvety tannins, finishing long.
...fabulous. Rich, plummy and forward... Succulent dark cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice are kicked up in this fleshy, open-knit Cabernet Sauvignon.
Herbal back notes of cedar and sage provide earthy context to the darkly brooding black fruit, finishing in a grip of tannin.
...great bouquet of crème de cassis, scorched earth, camphor, new leather, and candied flowers. With medium to full-bodied richness, it offers terrific tannins and good mid-palate depth, with the fresh, pure, classy style of the vintage front and center.
Expressive, with a mix of red and black currant and blackberry flavors that are nicely defined, carried along by singed alder and tobacco accents that blossom through the finish.
