Not a traditional CDR flavor, but more universal, maybe from the blend. You think it's sweet initially then immediately dry prune and thicker mouth feel. Slight earthiness and nice all-around experience. — 3 years ago

Bright and deep cherry red. Shy nose of red cherry and white pepper. Medium full bodied palate yields spicy cherry and black cranberry with firm acidity and a bit of French oak. Juicy lingering finish gives a bit of anise toward the end. Classic Tavel that’s ready for any place you’d take a lighter red. The Thanksgiving table is a particularly good match in American homes as it will compliment the eclectic fare. Drink now for the fresh cranberry tones, or hold through 2030 for a classic Old World experience. — 8 months ago
