Estimate
...elegant and expressive...alluring, broody scents of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, Earl Grey tea leaves, aniseed and tremendous floral perfume. The palate is luxurious, offering a cashmere texture, seamless freshness and surprising depth of flavor for its weightless feel, and it boasts layer after layer of perfumed fruit on the long finish.
...notes of wild black raspberry, dark gravelly earth, and brushy herbs. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate the rich concentration remains focused, while a more chiseled structure emerges, with its richness being held close to the vest...fine tannins and a more mountainous feel, with notes of grenadine, cherry, toasted herbs, and incense.
Blue/purplish fruit, gravel, tobacco, incense, dried flowers and lavender all run through this savory Pinot Noir. Incisive tannins lend energy while extending the finish...beautifully done.
...earthy with dark cherry, earth and blue-damson skin. High acid that extends the finish. Fine-grained, lightly dusty tannin.
