Estimate
...offers super dark berry fruit with expressive notes of sagebrush, tobacco, and loamy earth, delivering a dark-fruited character... Layered with dark cacao, blue fruit, and baking spices, it finishes with fantastic chalky minerality and wet slate. The wine's brightness and energy are tremendous, making it a truly outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon.
...richly textured, medium to full-bodied, classic St. Helena Cabernet that has both red and black fruits, lots of spice and dried tobacco aromatics, perfectly integrated oak, fine tannins, and a great finish...a beautiful wine.
This refined, polished and rock-solid style leads with a violet note, followed quickly by juicy blackberry and boysenberry flavors. A streak of black licorice works through on the finish, with a late tug of alder and warm earth keeping it all honest.
Hints of sage accent ripe cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is plush and creamy, then finishes with some slightly coarse-grained tannins.
Brambly nose. Lots of extract on the palate with powdery drying tannin balanced by fruit roundness.
