WINEMAKER'S NOTE
"This wine is textured with an integrated oak component and features a dense palate. There is a hint of pennyroyal mint (native to our area) in both the nose and mouth.

In the mouth sweet spices abound–cinnamon in particular–along with dense plum, and notes of cola and vanilla all followed by an edge of earthiness, mushroom, and forest floor in the finish." -Winery
