2023 Matthew Wallace The Estate CS

96 The Wine Illuminati

This under $100 Legend opens with deep aromas of blackberry cobbler, cassis, boysenberry, graphite, violets, and sweet pipe tobacco. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied, layering dark black fruits with satiny tannins and a polished texture that carries through a long, penetrating finish accented by subtle vanilla and oak integration.
