The 2013 'Cuvèe Estelle' Red Wine is another wonderful release from Lauren Ashton. As this slowly opens it begins to express aromatics of black currant, cigar box, red cherry and sagebrush. The Merlot gives this wine a lovely feminine edge as there are ripe flavors of red cherry preserves, boysenberry pie, milk chocolate and sage accents. This has wonderful texture and minerality, as the wine will cellar well into the next decade. (Best 2017-2026) - February, 2017 (OB)
