Estimate
...remarkable purity and elegance paired with serious oomph and density. Ripe blackberries, damp earth, and tobacco leaf notes flow to a full-bodied 2016 that has no hard edges, a great mid-palate, wonderful sweetness of fruit, and a rock star finish.
...bold blackberry preserves, baked plums and blueberry compote notions with hints of Chinese five spice, cedar chest, candied violets and chocolate box plus a waft of licorice. Full-bodied, rich and decadently fruited, it packs in the black and blue fruit layers with a firm yet wonderfully plush texture and tons of spicy sparks on the very long finish.
...fabulous. Sumptuous and beautifully layered...super-expressive... The blend of Cabernet aromatics and structure, along with Merlot fruit yields a wine of notable distinction and class...flavors are bright, precise and also wonderfully lifted.
