A rich nose of ripe fruits, cloves and 5 spice. The taste keeps that going with white pepper, cinnamon, some vanilla and cherry cola.
Honestly, it was like eating a fresh cinnamon roll (the larger donut varietal), conservatively dipped in some rich red berry syrup. I think it might pack a little too much flavor for a sipper. Also, the finish leaves a little to be desired.
That being said, it was enjoyable for the price, and I would recommend this to anyone who's ready for a mouthful of rich flavors. (I decanted it for an hour)

Sugary baked cherries on the nose w/ hints of cinnamon and christmas. Yes, christmas. Supple, yet acidic and w/ bite. This is another inky petite sirah that is a bit over-the-top, but if it suits your style then you will be very happy.
