Tasting Notes

"The nose: Imagine sipping a mug of mulled cider with a square of dark chocolate melting in it next to a pile of burning leaves on a beach. The palate takes on more of those flavors, like an apple roasting on a pit over a beach bonfire mixed with flavors of rosemary, clove, orange peel, cinnamon, and sage. Some brambly berry notes come into the finish, which is long and bright with sweet smoke curling throughout. "
