Monday, December 22, 2014 - I enjoyed this quite a bit, as did the rest of the table. Very fruit-forward wine, primarily red-fruited, but not simple. Strawberry, cranberry, cherry, and herbs on the nose. Somewhat soft and plush, with plenty of acidity and a crunchy cranberry mid-palate. Struck me as zin-like in the attack, and Beaujolais-like in the mid palate and finish. Incredibly well-balanced. While this is a rich wine, it hid the alcohol quite well (I would not have guessed that it was over 14%). Nice.
