Estimate
Velvety tannins weave in and out of vivid dark-plum and black-currant flavors in this full-bodied, fruit-centered wine. Attractive, light oak accents of cedar, wood char and anise add complexity, and the wine's concentration lets the pure fruit notes build on the palate and linger on the finish.
Dark cherry, plum, spice, menthol, pine and cedar fill out the layers beautifully.
...great bouquet of red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, chocolate, and underbrush...forward, medium to full-bodied, plump, and utterly delicious Napa Cabernet...
...offers up solid aromas of mocha, dark loam, chocolate and plum. It's full-bodied and concentrated, rich, velvety and long on the finish, but it could use just a bit more zest and vibrancy.
Relatively restrained in style, with a solid core of blackberry and mulberry fruit laced liberally with anise, sassafras and sweet bay leaf notes. Maintains focus and juicy energy through the lightly toasted finish.
Blackcurrants, blackberries, dark chocolate, coffee and sweet spices on the nose. Full body with creamy tannins. Round, rich and velvety with a toasty finish.
