"(raised for 18 months in a 50/50 combination of French and American oak barrels, new and used) Bright ruby-red. Fresh dark berry, licorice and spice scents, along with smoky mineral and vanilla flourishes. Sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy boysenberry and cola flavors and a touch of candied flowers. Lingers with good tenacity on a long, oak-accented finish shaped by smooth tannins. - Josh Raynolds"
