Sweet blueberry, dry wood, sawdust, vanilla and toast aromas lead to a chunky palate with jammy berry flavors accented by fairly forceful oak. Finishes similarly, with ample barrel influence, vanilla and medium length.——M.S.(12/15/2011)—— 86

Initially smells like rubber bands, campfire and eventually mocha and hickory. The palate is short and choppy in feel, with narrow, sharp-tasting red fruit flavors along with a noticeable woody element. Finishes oaky, with a forced vanilla flavor.——M.S.(7/1/2011)—— 84
