Outstanding aromas of black cherry preserves, pomegranate aril, and cardamom lead into a palate rich in flavors of wild boysenberry, red currant, and hazelnut. Sleek tannins linger throughout the finish along with notes of hibiscus blossom, black tea leaf, and Tahitian vanilla. This Zin makes the perfect pairing for pulled pork tacos or classic spaghetti and meatballs.
