Estimate
Intense and penetrating yet still floral and fresh aromas of lavender and boysenberry are fascinating on the inviting nose of this clonal selection. The palate is ripe with boysenberry jam, candied lilac and açaí flavors, which are show-stopping in nature and deeply delicious.
...alluring blend of deep red and blue fruit: boysenberry, dried cranberry and dried red cherries open with time to cola, lemon peel and black tea...medium-bodied palate is chalky and fresh with bursting red fruit character and a juicy, citrus-laced finish.
Hibiscus, orange peel, and sliced strawberry aromas. Medium-bodied with a firm and juicy finish. Structured and solid. Impressive length. Layered and serious.
...has a more fruit-forward bouquet of ripe strawberries, red plums, forest floor, and exotic flowers, with just a kiss of background iron and marine-like nuances... Nicely structured on the palate, with medium-bodied richness, it has ripe yet firm tannins, beautiful overall balance, and a great finish. It's pure class.
Packed with bramble-laced blackberry and mulberry fruit, this has excellent energy from start to finish, with mouthwatering anise and apple wood notes in the background. Shows a subtle singed sandalwood edge that provides a touch of perfume. Distinctive and delicious.
Dark fruit, tobacco, incense and dried herbs emerge with some coaxing, but only reluctantly.
