...lifted by the addition of aromatic Cabernet Franc, creating a red wine of depth, concentration and persistence... Both red and black fruits intermingle with sage, licorice, coffee grounds and a hint of caramel. Impressive persistence.
Alluring nose of red currants, black cherry, and pomegranate notes interlaced with cedar spices and nuanced by bright Lilac florals. Medium-bodied with assertive fine-grained tannins that build with intensity as layers of spicy red fruit, saline-scented minerals, and a firm backbone of racy acidity all mount towards an extremely fresh and floral finish.
Red currant, cherry and raspberry coulis notes weave together, along with singed cedar and sandalwood, sanguine and savory accents. Lingering echoes of warm humus and red tea add perfume to the finish. Elegant in style.
Aromas of blackberries, dark plums, bark and baking spices on the nose, followed by a medium to full body with fine tannins. Well-built and balanced, with a delicious core of berries and wild herbs on a velvety texture. Focused and flavorful finish.
...ripe cherries and garnishes that with hints of florals and allspice...medium to full-bodied, plush and approachable, with ample concentration and a softly dusty, mocha-tinged finish.
...a soft, open-knit wine...approachable...endowed with tons of complexity. Black cherry, gravel, spice, new leather, tobacco and scorched earth... Pretty floral top notes lift the finish.
...notes of savory red and black fruits, camphor, loamy earth, and dried tobacco-like nuances. It's textbook Calistoga with its savoriness and minerality, and it s medium-bodied, with an elegant, focused mouthfeel and outstanding length.
Lively, fresh, fairly simple fruit. Sweet start and lots of bite on the end.
