Tasting Notes: The nose is plush with tons of maple, vanilla, bruleed sugars, cedar box, and ground baking spices. It’s toasty, but has brighter notes of red fruits. Not quite jammy, but definitely raspberry cordial and cherry syrup inviting. The longer it rests in the glass, the more creamy, dense, and fruit-lined it grows - almost more like a dessert wine.  The palate is deep, and continues rich with those ground baking spices, maple, and raw honey found on the nose. There’s cherry hard candy and peppered melon notes filling the mid palate before a beautiful toasted marshmallow transitioning to well-toasted oak. The texture from front palate to the back of the palate is what’s most alluring with this one. The finish is plump and chewy - rounding the darker cherry notes but still finishing with a toasted, creamy marshmallow note and plenty of developed oak continuing long and trailing.
