Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

The aromas jump from the glass, complex and layered with overripe mango, hay, baked earth and fermented plums. The flavors start off with sea salt followed by a light smoky undertone, berries, chalky minerals, clay, and red chili. Endlessly complex and totally delicious.
