  June 15, 2007 - So my latest shipment from the south recently arrived and I cracked one of the ESJs I picked up on sale. Fantastic with a simple Skagit Valley steak on the grill.
  
  Color like the red maple outside my window. Deep crimson with transparency on the edges. Nose with a little funk and something bright and racy in the background. Going down, very well balanced (even at 14+ abv). Steve writes on the label about it being "nervy" and that's a perfect description. Little peppery to start before it gives way to more dark cherry and earthy tastes. aybe a little leather and slightest moca on the finish. Deeelicious.
