Pale garnet with orange rim. Volcanic fairy dust presents quickly on nose, then dehydrated plum, Cointreau, brown sugar, Worschestershire, nettle, clove, black olive, campfire ash. Palate brings med+/high- acid, high tannin, med+ alc, flavors of tart red cherry, black olive, brown spice, fairy dust minerality, cigar paper, American Spirits. Long finish, improving with air and thank you *tres much*

Thin and tannic. Thought Nebbiolo or cool vintage Burgundy when tasted blind. Tasted about a decade older too

High-toned red fruit on the nose, this wine smells acidic. In the mouth, this wine is very textural. Persistent tannins, but the acid keeps them from being too drying.
