TASTING NOTES:
Nose: Heady aromas of ripe blackberry, mocha and cigar box, accented with light notes of thimbleberry, sandalwood and jasmine.
Mouth: Wild strawberry and raspberry flavors are elegantly woven with blood orange citrus, fresh earth, and subtle spice. Broad and pure, with a soft velvety texture, mouth-watering acidity and a long lasting, memorable finish.
Recommended Drinking Age: Two to five years – for those who enjoy a vibrant mineral energy, drink early. If you prefer a richer profile, consider aging longer to enhance the mouthfeel and develop savory complexity.
