Spectacular aromas of wild blackberry, black peppercorn, and toasted cedar set the stage for flavors of black cherry cola, dried hibiscus blossom, and peppery fig jam. Silky tannins linger along with notes of boysenberry, seared clove, and black tea leaf. Incredible spices make this the perfect pairing for pulled pork sliders with caramelized onions and BBQ sauce or grilled lamb burger with pickled onions, feta crumbles, and brioche bun.
