Lots of plum, blackberry, and huckleberry aromas with slight black pepper spice on the nose. Packed with dark fruit flavors, the entry is mouth-filling with jammy fruit throughout the mid-palate. Subtle coffee and spice notes towards the finish. Pair it with marinated and grilled flank steak, sautéed mushrooms and grilled vegetables.
Predominant apple and pear notes on the nose, accompanied by minerality and slight lemon rind citrus; very sublime caramel aroma. Similar to the nose, flavors of Granny Smith apple and Bartlett pear are present on the palate. Very nice richness in the mouth; a little bread dough, citrus, and minerality comes through on the finish.
Aromas of black currant, plum, and black cherry are lifted by a bouquet of baking spices, dark chocolate, dried herbs, and cedar from over a year of barrel aging. The palate is bursting with primary fruit and a broad, rich tannin structure.
