What Our Editors Thought
“Berry smoothie meets rich cabernet in the nose; fruity top notes and earthy bass build layered, full-spectrum appeal. In the sip, rich low-key sweetness underpins the dark berries without stealing the show, developing richness without cloying.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rustic berry aromas meander across the nose. Elderberry offers an earthy grounding, while strong, jammy fruit flavors are overbalanced by a rush of lactic acid. Jammy, puckering, satisfying.”
What the Brewers Say
“Conditioned on plum, black currant, elderberry, and a touch of vanilla.”
