This wine is medium-dark in the glass. The nose is full of cherry, plum, blackberry, and an herbal note. On the palate, earthy tones shroud the fruit, while a healthy set of tannins excite the tongue. The finish is medium length and the savory notes linger the longest. Pair this wine with beef, lamb, roasted chicken, or even your favorite smash burger.

This is a yummy bottle. Cranberries and baking spices from the glass, @Jessica Medved says she gets cloves. Complex tannins inside with a lush texture. Some rose petals and exotics. Very bright. Very delicious. Lingers well.

It has a beautiful nose of plum and spices, on the palate it’s balanced, with soft tannins. Medium long finish. A truly lovely wine.

I was excited to find a carignane based blend (78% with 15% grenache and 7% mouvdre) but I found this bottle overly acidified and lacking much of anything noteworthy.
