$60
B05 (malted wheat forward), SB91, and flavoring mash bills (25% specialty malted grains minimum)
Nose
Raisin bread with weed spice, cinnamon raisin bread, baked apples at Cracker Barrel, subtle port influence despite two years finishing.
Palate
Dry wheat with sweetened finish from the white port, good malt presence, cola note reminiscent of Dr. Pepper, sweet notes coming through on back end.
Finish
Rounded sweetness from the port, subtle spice, drying wheat quality softened by residual sweetness.
Recommended
The white port finish brings stronger presence and complexity than the Pinot Noir, delivering a more visceral expression with excellent balance between grain and wine characteristics.
