OMG that label. As down home and unpretentious as they come. The aroma is smoky, rusty, & reminds one of paper pages in old books. Flavors are also of the aged-ed sort. Cherry chocolate cordials meets cigar boxes and autumn red apples from the tree. Things could be a bit more harmoniously balanced and integrated (the acids and the alcohol spike a bit), but this is an elegant and complex ‘mountain wine’ with as much personality as Bob the dog appeared to have.
