The nose shows black cherries, strawberries, and cream soda. The palate has red fruit that shifts, attack to finish, from sweet to biting, leading with strawberry, shifting to rhubarb, and ending with unsweetened cranberry.

The nose has plum, cherry cola, and black tea. Black cherry, black tea, and cola lead on the palate. There is a real earthy umami that comes out on the mid-palate, a soy-sauce richness that lingers with cigar-box spices. Moderate tannins match moderate acids. Drink with anything made with lentils.

The nose offers delicious aromas of baking pears in puff pastry. Rich on the palate, it has baked pears and spices and baking bread. Citrus makes an appearance on the mid-palate, a light touch of lemon meringue adding acid that lingers, counter-balancing the baked flavors, through the long finish. Mouth-feel
