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.
Full-bodied with aromas of dark cocoa and hints of vanilla, lush Bing cherry flavors, and a long, lingering smooth finish. Elegant and supple on the palate, the juicy red fruit flavors are punctuated by the round, soft, medium-body mouthfeel. The tannins remain chewy through the finish.
On the nose, floral notes of lily and stone fruit – apricots, peaches, and a subtle hint of pineapples and coconuts. More stone fruit flavors - peach, nectarine, and mango - present on the palate. Nice viscosity on the mid-palate and finish, complemented by flavors of bread dough. An excellent acid balance exists throughout.
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.
Toasted barrel char; followed by black cherry, blackberry jam, and vanilla spice. The flavors are big & concentrated with notes of black cherry, black currant, raisin, and prune.
