4.19/5  rDev +6.6%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Look is a nice opaque cranberry hue red and pours with a finger of pink head.

Aroma is wine grapes, wine barrel and a bit of earth.

Taste is interesting. It's big time wine barrels and wine grapes. It has a little bit of earth/funk and I mean maybe a hint.

Feel is clean, crisp and dry. Carb is also on the higher side.

Overall a really unique saison and I think it integrates the wine flavors very well. I think Sierra Nevada did this one really well.

Upon edit the abv listed on the bottle is 6.8% not the 8.4% that's listed here on this site.
