Estimate
Spicy chicory root notes, sasparilla and wild mint play alongside blood orange zest and black tea...palate shows ample structure as fine tannins frame a mineral streak of smoked sea salt...bright fruit notes of ripe raspberries and juicy pomegranate pulp are lifted by notes of pine bough and spiced dried orange peel. Gorgeous.
...intense, crunchy and succulent...with red currants, sour cherries, wild strawberries, dried herbs, crushed stone and a touch of white pepper on the nose. Medium-bodied with bright, laser-focused acidity... Vibrant, vertical and transparent with a focused, long finish.
Handsomely structured and deeply flavored, with slightly brooding flavors of black cherry and raspberry accented by black tea, mineral and dusky spice accents that build momentum toward medium-grained tannins.
...evolves in the glass with a floral bouquet that entices with a blend of rose hips, geranium, dusty earth, exotic spice and wild blueberry. This envelops the palate with ripe red fruits, coming across as fleshy yet refined, as a stream of zesty acidity maintains a fantastic balance...
...shakes off initial matchstick aromas to reveal blackberry, cranberry, wild fennel, citrus and saline...light-bodied palate is transparent and pure with detailed flavors...structured by silky tannins and shimmery acidity, and it has a long, spicy finish.
