"Ruby black color. Interesting aromas and flavors of fragrant peppercorns, Masala chai, and honey with a supple, bright, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a smooth, medium-length finish imparting elements of toasty bread crusts with Nutella and light oak flavor. An interesting spicy quaffer for everyday indulging."

"Opaque ruby. Dark berries, coconut and a hint of spiciness on the powerfully scented nose. In a round and generous style, showing very good depth and appealing sweetness to the blackberry and cherry cola flavors. Soft, even tannins add gentle grip to a long, smooth finish that leaves hints of vanilla and dark fruits behind. Raised in a combination of French and American oak barrels. - Josh Raynolds"
