Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromas of old leather, dried red flowers, nuts, and cinnamon.

Palate: Round and crisp with flavors of dark malt, cocoa, and leather. Rich, subtle, and complex.

Finish: Interesting and medium-long, with impressions of wood and spice, with a dry character.

How to Serve

Neat: Savor the complexity of old leather, spice, and cocoa from the Cabernet cask.

On the Rocks: Add a splash of water or a single cube to soften the oak tannins and highlight the dried red fruit.

Cocktails: Ideal for a Boulevardier or a spirit-forward Whisky Old Fashioned where the wine character can shine.
