This is a Sonoma Valley Red blend wine aged in craft Rye Whisky barrels. The Protest is a dedication and an attitude. The Rye whiskey aromas meld with silky fruit, hints of cigar box and fresh leaf tobacco. The dusty black fruit flavors mingle with Rye whiskey flavors. The flavor extends with more delicious chewy, bacon-fat tones, with deep blackberry and black raspberry jam highlights. Protest invokes a pleasant, pipe smoke-filled room with old classic novels lying about.
