Cherry cola meets pine forest in this compelling Russian River beauty.
Cherry cola rushes forward with rose petals trailing behind. Pine needles add forest floor intrigue while tamarind brings exotic tartness. Fennel whispers through the midpalate. Silky texture carries these flavors effortlessly. Finish lingers with spice and earth. Drink now through 2028.
