Estimate
The aromas of ripe currants and fresh flowers just pop out here. Black cherries and blackberries, too, as well as lavender and currant bush. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and intense tannins, yet it remains energetic and precise. Layered texture. Great finish.
...notes of crème de cassis, tobacco leaf, Asian spices, loamy soil, camphor, and chocolate. Offering full-bodied richness, a beautiful weightlessness on the palate, and building tannins, this is another gorgeous, seamless, singular wine...
...captures the essence of the year in its fresh, vibrant personality. Sweet red cherry jam, mocha, spice and rose petal all grace this mid-weight, refined Cabernet Sauvignon.
...features obvious cassis fruit laced through with slightly herbal shadings, like sage and bay leaf. It's medium to full-bodied, structured, firmly tannic but ripe, rich and long, with a velvety finish that hints of black tea and mocha.
Fresh and driven, with a solid graphite spine carrying blueberry, dark plum and fig paste flavors along. A late flurry of licorice root and violet adds range on the finish.
