"This is a rather wondrous bottling, starting with juicy aromas of cherry that are expertly masked by dewy sagebrush notes that arise with persistence and poise. The snappy palate ranges from raspberry and cranberry to rose petal and hibiscus, and then that slow-rising wave of green sage and peppercorn makes for both delicious and intriguing complexity."
