Estimate
...offers crushed stone, grapefruit peel, potpourri, blueberry and floral nuances over a core of red currant, cranberry and red cherries. The palate is medium-bodied and absolutely explodes with juicy, bitters-laced red fruits. It has a firm, very finely grained frame and mouthwatering acidity on the long, layered finish that begs you to take another sip. Yowza!
...salty note...with pomegranate fruit, brambly berries and a streak of citrus...with tannins that taste of tea and leave a light impression of ash...beautifully expresses the McMinnville terroir with a distinct minerality throughout.
This has a very attractive, minerally thread of dark stones and graphite-like aromas, through ripe dark cherries and chocolate. The palate has a bold, full style with rich, dark-cherry flavors, cast in sweeping waves of tannin.
