Nose has ripe black cherry, ripe raspberry, dried cranberry, dried mint, spice cake, wet cedar box and vanilla bean.
Palate has chocolate covered dried cherry, eucalyptus, dried fig, raspberry jam, menthol and dried strawberry. Mild tannins, light acidity but long finish. At peak enjoyment for this bottle today, in 2021. Decanted 6H.
Paired with pulled pork sandwiches, a Superbowl Sunday tradition for us. A local pork shoulder (Mill River Farm, New Marlborough, MA), dry spice rubbed and rested for 24H, then 10H in the slow cooker; it's just falling apart...so beautiful, our kitchen smells amazing! Garnished with our garden bread & butter pickles, homemade barbeque sauce, pickled red onion and a dash of cilantro, all a worthy combination.
