Dark red and brown in color. Sour cherries. A bit like a sour. Not my favorite but good. Retried...crazy sour.

Taste like wine

Dark red brown in color with no head. Sour cherry and woody notes on the nose. Cherries, tannins, oak, sweetness at first and then fairly quickly puckering. Lemon and red wine then take over. The finish is dry but not nearly as palate drying as you may expect. A long cherry pie finish with a tart lemon and currant overtone linger long after your swallow.

Takes time to appreciate sours but this one is smooth for a sour; slight carbonation; clear dark red color, no head; ends with the Cabernet finish; different; potent; complex
