Nose is smoky, slightly herbal & marked by sweet cedar & vanilla-tinged oak, it also offers great cassis & blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the flavors are kept nicely in check by fine-grained tannins. - Wine Advocate

This has aromas of cream, apricots, white peaches and lemon curd. Medium- to full-bodied with excellent density and focus. Bright acidity, too. Creamy finish.

High-toned in fleshy peach and apricot with a nod of Good & Plenty licorice, this big-boned, structured and lushly crafted wine stands out with its complement of rich concentrated fruitiness and toasty oak.
An expressive Pinot which shows hints of herbs and spice on the nose, with layers of bright cherry and strawberry fruit on the palate. Lovely fresh acidity, with a floral lift on the finish.
This special is the first bonded bourbon in Colorado history. True to the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897, this bourbon is at least 4 years old, a product of a single season & a single distiller, & has been aged entirely in our federally bonded rickhouse.

Gently oaky, with some brown butter, ample lemon peel, and some vaguely tropical elements of guava and papaya. There’s good acidity here, with a nice, long, minerally finish.
Quite youthful on the nose, with barley, vanilla, and finally nectarines. Smooth and medium-bodied, with floral notes, custard, and milk chocolate. A relatively short finish, with sappy oak.

Scorched grapefruit lemon pith & oak-smoke aromas show on the nose of this bottling by winemaker Matt Brady, in only his second stab at this grape. It's tightly textured on the palate, where warm tones of butter & peach meet with savory sea salt
