This dessert wine is a deep reddish brown in color, almost a chestnut hue. The nose is aromatic and quite beautiful - brown sugar, raisins, espresso and a hint of orange peel aromas rise up from the glass. On the palate the wine is very viscous and shows distinct legs. Flavors of coffee, caramel and citrus dominate the sip, and there is a spearmint note on the finish. The acidity is fresh and bright, and the overall savory feel helps make this a wine that can be paired with more than just sweets.
