Tasting Date: 1/31/2025 Notes: Immediately starts with a bright, red fruit flavor – cherry flavored. Holds that fruit flavor through to finish. Complex with some depth but not overly bold. Playful.

A four-wheel drive car is recommended for exploring the park, as many of the points of interest are only […]
