Tasting Profile
| Look: | A dark baked cherry red, with subtle flecks of purple present as well. |
|---|---|
| Smell: | On the darker side of Pinot Noir, with dark fruit flavors of black cherry and sweet plum abutting toasty dark baking spices, sweet tobacco leaf, black peppercorn, and a touch of cherry hard candy. |
| Taste: | A delicious and quite dense flavor profile on today’s wine. Braised blackberry and grilled plum are laid overtop clove, cinnamon, dried black cherry, dried summer earth, and aged cedar wood grilling chips. |
