This is followed by flavors of plum, Craisins and pepper and finishes with aromas of cinnamon, cherry, plum, tobacco, and white pepper. Great by itself or pair with mushrooms stuffed with bacon and roasted jalapeno and cream cheese.

    Aromas of Flint/minerals, cranberry, sharp cherry. Hints of cinnamon, and cedar. followed by flavors of plum, Craisins and cayenne pepper and finishes with aromas of cinnamon, cumin and an interesting dustiness and crisp acidity.
