Tasting Notes
"The aroma isn't super powerful, but it's pleasant with light malt and nutty aromas along with a touch of vanilla and freshly baked cookies. It begins moderately sweet and creamy followed by a punchy alcohol heat. Oak flavors are hearty and move the flavors towards a drier finish. The cabernet sauvignon flavors show up and linger towards the end which has a good length. Overall, it displays a good balance between the malt flavors and the wine flavors, working in harmony rather than one being the dominant force. "
