                       Extremely Limited  

         55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Syrah

A unique delicious seamless and complex wine.The flavors are amazingly detailed, with layer upon layer of candiedfruit,  raisins, Bourbon barrel, Asian spice, ginger, toast and more. The flavors pile on and continue into a seemingly endless finish, resonating into a spicy blend of fruit and Christmas cookies.
