Estimate
Blackcurrants, blueberries, crushed stone, scrub brush, and graphite notes...full-bodied beauty, which offers a rounded, expansive texture, silky tannins, and both richness and freshness.
...gorgeous wine. Powerful and delineated, with tons of Howell Mountain character... Blackberry jam, chocolate, licorice, spice, menthol, gravel and crème de cassis infuse...with remarkable intensity.
Lots of ripe black cherry and blackberry on the nose with cloves, licorice and fresh green peppercorns...full-bodied... Lots of berry and bitter-chocolate flavors lead to a fresh, bright finish.
...opens with a powerful nose of blackcurrant jelly, blueberry pie and baked plums...beef drippings, black truffles, tapenade and iron ore. Full-bodied, the palate is concentrated, packed with baked black fruits and earthy/mineral layers and supported by firm, sturdy tannins plus just enough freshness, finishing long and ferrous.
