Very pretty and dense nose with dark and red fruits laying on top of rose petals, black cherry and raspberry quickly being overtaken by cranberry skin and pomegranate seeds. The palate starts out a little creamy and rich with ripe fresh pressed cherry juice quickly being overtaken by more tart and crunchy cranberry finish with a little bit of spice. There's a lot of great texture there besides the tannin, weighty and firmly pushing this into solidly medium bodied. This is a really delicious bottle of wine, something that is friendly enough that you can just stop and have a glass if you want, but with enough going on underneath that it's also a great food pairing for something like duck or a fatty roast chicken.
