From nose to finish, this is a roadside fruit stand, bringing fresh fruit, oak, and dusty earth together in harmony. The nose leads with sour cherries, Concord grape juice, and a bevy of tropical fruits. The palate is rich with notes of pineapple, apple, and POG juice, then a heavy pour of Velvet Falernum adds to all the fruit flavors Dustiness and dry oak add a layer of complexity to each sip.
