Estimate
Generous and pure, with a core of maraschino cherry, raspberry puree and red licorice flavors on a plush, velvety frame, expanding into details of sandalwood, white truffle, rosemary and cardamom.
This is a very attractive and gently complex pinot that sits in a red-cherry and red-plum zone, laced with spicy, gently herbal and floral elements, too. The palate has a very composed, fresh red-cherry center with spice and light peppery nuances. Plenty of bright acidity lifts the finish.
...hints of thyme, mocha and cedar, all accenting kaleidoscopic fruit notes that range from plums to red raspberries and back. Medium-bodied, it's expansive on the palate without being weighty, silky and ripe while still being structured, with a long, richly textural finish.
...dried cranberries, red cherry, almond, Christmas spice and even a slight lift of pepper. The tannins offer a fine powdery sensation and the 23% new oak provides background support for the fruit. A solid, layered effort.
