2020 Craven Cinsault Stellenbosch, South Africa

This has a delicate cranberry and pomegranate bouquet with a bit of a rhubarb and bay leaf emerging with air.  The transparency and delineation of aromas and flavors is really special.  It offers red berries, black currants, rooibos tea, and a touch of white pepper and a saline element.  The finish is precise and yet welcoming with chalky-edged tannins that linger.
