Estimate
...incredible cassis and blueberry fruit as well as tobacco, graphite, damp earth, leather, and violets, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a round, layered, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a great, great finish.
Inky dark fruit and a whole range of cooler-climate mineral/savory notes typical of Coombsville punctuate the huge, redolent finish.
...notions of crème de cassis, plum preserves and baked blackberries, plus hints of chocolate box, camphor and cinnamon stick, with a waft of clove oil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with crunchy black fruits and bold freshness, featuring beautifully ripe, fine-grained tannins to support, finishing long and layered.
A pretty cabernet with aromas of blackberries, currants, fresh cherries, walnuts, cloves and tobacco leaves. Some pencil lead, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, finely knit tannins and fresh acidity. Balanced and structured. Walnut husk and cocoa come out on the long finish.
...refreshingly complex in cedar, earth and barnyard earthiness. Thick layers of currant, cassis and dark cherry mingle around seamless, supple tannin and toasted oak, finding cohesion and harmony through a lengthy finish.
