Estimate
...coniferous aromatics of pine and resin as well as cherry fruit and turned earth. The palate has more juicy fruit and mid-palate depth, with dried violets and stony minerality, while still having beautiful stylistic levity.
...scents of red and black berries, underbrush, tobacco, licorice and dried earth with an undercurrent of spicy accents. Medium-bodied, silky and refreshing, it strikes a fine balance of intense, youthful fruit and savory, earthy accents, and it has a long, flavorful finish with notably more intensity than previous vintages.
Aromas of ripe strawberries with blueberries, iron and cedar follow through to a tight and full body with firm, slightly chewy tannins and a fresh finish. Not giving much at the end of the palate. Spice, such as cloves, in the aftertaste.
...deep, fleshy and full of character. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and pine lend notable intensity...wine of gravitas, power and breath.
