TASTING NOTES:
“Dark and concentrated notes of currants, cassis, plum, black cherries with a touch of wood smoke and fig paste. Swirling adds sweetness and a savory component that makes your mouth water with vanilla bean and black tea. The palate has density and firm, with fine tannins with good fruit sweetness through the mid-palate and a long and concentrated finish.” (AbV 14.9%, pH 3.82)

BARRELS:
14 months, 47% in concrete tanks before blending.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
DC Comics has had several humans assume the title of Green Lantern over the years. While Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, and John Stewart (not Jon Stewart) are stand-up guys that, despite some periods of hazy judgment, tend to stay on the straight and narrow, Guy Gardner is something else.

A brawl-y Baltimore native, he can be cocky, aggressive, and unpredictable. He gains and loses his Lantern powers every so often, stirs up shit with other heroes, gets recruited into groups who get their hands dirtier than the likes of Superman, and all around is a fun dude.

10/10, no issues.
