2010 tasting - An opaque, dark red with a deep bouquet steeped in Appalachian terroir, this blend has an excellent, deep, complex flavor coupled to a finish evocative of the terroir.

2008 tasting - A very dark, slightly opaque color, this blend has a fruity, peppery bouquet coupled to a fruity, dry, chewy, sweet flavor that evolves into a very dry, chewy aftertaste.
