Blind Assessment
Remarkable aromatic balance and big, suavely sweet acidity make this a remarkable blend despite its relatively light body and short finish. Dark chocolate, aromatic wood, tart, cherryish fruit carry from aroma through cup with poised authority.
Notes
Available in a 12-ounce valve bag at $10.95. A custom blend created for Chef Robert Stehling's Hominy Grill, a restaurant specializing in traditional Southern cuisine in Charleston, South Carolina.

Who Should Drink It
