Estimate
Extremely complex, with grilled-meat, dried-strawberry, forest-floor and chanterelle-mushroom aromas, yet always subtle. Iron and white pepper, too. Medium to full body with fine, velvety tannins. Intense and flavorful.
...powerful, ample wine. Black cherry, plum, incense, new leather, tobacco and orange peel all fill out the layers in bold, sumptuous Pinot Noir that captures all this tricky year had to offer.
...beautiful bouquet of red and black fruits as well as scorched earth, graphite, and hints of violets. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate and has perfect balance as well as ample tannic structure, a great mid-palate, integrated acidity, and one heck of a finish.
...deep well of red fruit on the nose accented by nuances of peppercorn, prosciutto, burnt orange peel and aniseed...palate offers a stunning balance of delicate, perfumed fruit, abundant powdery tannins and bright bursts of acidity. It has a long, bitters-laced finish...
Leads with light singed alder and mesquite hints, followed quickly by a juicy set of damson plum, cherry and raspberry fruit flavors. Shows a subtle sagebrush echo through the caressing finish...
