Then lightning struck again. Once again, no winery had ever received the honor twice, so two years in a row was totally unprecedented. Somehow I don't think management will mind a bit paying what will almost certainly be the largest competition incentive bonus in its history. Lovely smoky vanilla aromatics. Ripe apple and tropical fruit enrobed in more vanilla, with smoky, toasty, barrel-char after flavors.
Case purchases highly recommended.
Just avoids overripeness. Flavor is more ripe plum with a hint of something tar-like and complex. Match with a blackened steak or pork chop or maybe a piece of venison loin. Big blackberry and black cherry aromas and flavors with some pleasant smoky complexity. Very concentrated and intense.
