Raspberry, sour cherry, rose stems, heavy floral aromatics, finessed French oak barrel spice, orange peel acidity. Truly complex and truly delicious!

Pale ruby color- very translucent. Had to give this one a 30 min. decanting. Muted red fruit flavors, black olive, floral notes and earthy. The 10 years has given this some interesting flavors of cranberry, cherry, baking spices and a red fruit finish.

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, pomegranate and orange zest. Dark cherry flavors, hint of spice and black tea on the finish.
