From the Bottler
- “Color: Sanguine Copper”
- “Nose: Red fruits, crushed peanut shells, warm pipe tobacco, wood smoke”
- “Palate: Ashy to begin but becoming rich, round, and juicy through the middle of the palate before closing with a pleasing dryness (the red fruits, crushed peanut shells, warm pipe tobacco, and wood smoke from the nose continue on the palate, too)”
- “Finish: Moderate to long with a soft astringency along the underside edges of the tongue – look for cocoa nibs, more wood smoke, and dried raspberry notes”
