Tasting Notes
"A striking copper color in the glass, aromas of light vanilla, rich caramel and toasted oak with notes of apple, pear and brown sugar makes for an enticing nose. Light in the mouth, with medium oak and cinnamon flavors offset by sweet notes of baked apples, vanilla, and mint. The finish is quick and easy, with baking spice and mint disappearing off of the palate. "
