Tasting Notes

Nose

Black Forest fruits, marmalade and honeycomb. The five Californian red wine cask varieties create a nose of unusual breadth and dark fruit richness.

Palate

Tropical fruits, ginger, sun-dried raisins. Each grape variety contributes something different — Zinfandel's delicate cassis, Pinot Noir's crushed blackcurrants, Syrah's cranberries, Merlot's Black Forest fruits, Cabernet's cedar wood and Morello cherries.

Finish

Cassis, orange, fresh baked banana. A composed, wine-rich close.

Expert Review

8.2/10

The world's first five-grape-variety cask finish — Richard Paterson splitting Dalmore between Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
