Estimate
...terrific nose of mulled black cherries, scorched earth, toasted spice, and savory herbs...tons of salty, mineral nuances on the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, has perfectly integrated acidity, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.
Tight, very focused and structured, with forest-floor, cherry, dried-strawberry and spice character. Medium-bodied with a solid core of fruit.
...complex aromas of raspberry, orange peel, licorice, oolong tea leaves and flinty streaks...medium-bodied palate has a harmonious frame of powdery tannins and vibrant acidity, concentrated, nuanced flavors and a very long finish.
Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, licorice, menthol, spice and chocolate are some of the myriad notes that flesh out as this towering, plush Pinot show off its personality.
Alluring, with a mix of rooibos tea, sandalwood and savory notes out front, followed by gently mulled raspberry and blood orange fruit flavors. Shows a nice racy feel through the finish as everything knits together, ending with a subtle sassafras echo.
