This almost has the elegance of a fabulous Pinot Noir. Very tasty and will be drinking again

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.
