Estimate
Lovely purity of fruit with ultra fine tannins and depth, finesse and complexity. Black cherries, cedar and some flowers. It’s full-bodied with very fine tannins that drive the finish.
Cedar, forest-floor and rose aromas slowly appear on this full-bodied red along with spice notes. Firmly structured, the palate features cherry marinated in spirits, licorice and a hint of espresso framed in tightly knit, close-grained tannins. The slight warmth of alcohol lingers on the close.
...luxurious aromas of vanilla and baking spice, with ripe and confected black raspberry and red plum. The palate is generous, with upfront fruit that gives way to savory black licorice and building tannins.
...displays a refreshing mix of wild strawberries, followed by notes of sage, mint and hints of white pepper. It’s a soft and pliant wine, casting pretty red fruits and hints of spice across medium bodied textures, while forming into a more salty and austere expression toward the close. Fine tannins grip the palate, leaving hints of cranberry and inner herbal tones lingering.
