Bright and vibrant with pomegranate and cherry dominating the nose.  A mild sense of molasses hints at the depth of flavor to come. Aromas of red rose, cinnamon and bay leaf mingle softly.  Flavors of white and Bing cherry blend with kirsch and mint immediately.  Behind, with a little bit of air, a more earthy porcini base begins to rise.  The finish is long and lingering with orange zest and fresh cranberry notes.
