Top Notes For

9.1

2013 vintage.

Chocolate covered cherries, blueberry pie, vanilla bean, graham cracker crust, violets and lilacs with a tiny bit of coffee bean on the nose. The palate is tart, eucalyptus, and the chocolate covered cherries are a little more sweet. I wouldn't recommend drinking this on its own due to the alcohol but damn does it do well with food (NY strip preferred).
