TASTING NOTES: After years of scouring grainy photos and peering through binoculars, you’ve found it: Bigfoot’s cave, deep in the Oregon woods. In you go, brandishing a Maglite and Glock 45. And there’s Sasquatch himself, seated in a Tuscan leather wingback chair, clawed feet on a matching ottoman, reading Wordsworth. He fetches a fresh blackberry pie, drizzles raw honey over the top, and offers a slice. You spend the night gnawing thyme-laden venison jerky over granite countertops and swapping hunting stories. Before you go, be sure to snap a selfie. Maybe no one will notice the zipper on his chest. DRINK NOW: Decant for 45 minutes CELLAR: Now through 6-8 Years
