Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Powerful and savory on the nose with hints of leather, baked cherries, toasted oats, and pink grapefruit aromas. dry and pleasantly grain-forward on the palate, it is a nice balance of citrus, stone fruit, and spice that alludes to a finish of cinnamon, toasted oak, and dried cherries.
