Ember
Ember’s dark and brooding garnet red color indicate the extended barrel aging of this wine. The nose is intoxicating with notes of black cherry, English Toffee, dark chocolate, fresh sourdough bread, and vanilla. The palate presents a complex array of rich flavors including chocolate covered cherries, English Toffee, espresso, cherry cola, butterscotch, bourbon, and creme brulee.
