"On the nose, dark red fruit notes with hints of cedar and cured meat lift from the glass. With the first sip, distinct flavors of red plum and Bing cherry deliver bright fresh flavors supported by perfectly balanced acidity. The oak-aging offers hints of cinnamon and baking spice that accent the wine’s smooth texture and lead to a long, lingering finish." Randle Johnson, Winemaker
