Color: Medium yellow-gold

On the nose: There’s a slightly corny aroma that mingles with underripe peach, muddled mint, cucumber, and freshly-baked sourdough bread. With a bit of time in the glass, the meaty and smoky scent of flame-broiled burger emerges. A bit of garrigue and some ground black peppercorn lend this an herbal, spicy accent.

In the mouth: Stern mouthfeel to start. A minty note at midpalate is all this yields until the finish, which lingers with a roasty note of coffee beans and some bitterly green flavors of spearmint.
