Gold color. Aromas and flavors of fruits, nuts, and seeds trail mix, baked apples and peaches, dates, and roasted sunflower seeds with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a hot, stimulating, medium-long finish displaying elements of salted caramel, cherry and apple pastry, toasted orange and apricot, and lemon pepper. Spicy and fruity but particularly earthy and nutty; a fascinating sipper that would also make for some excellent cocktails.
