Tasting Notes
"The nose and palate is akin to chunky, sweet oat cookies (or biscuits) that have been slathered in lemon drizzle frosting. There is a refreshing, bright citrusy tartness that spreads across the midpalate with pleasantly astringent notes of grapefruit and lime peel, and roasted agave. A subtle herbaceousness and delicate umami character rounds out the finish. "
