Tar & Roses Shiraz

Bold, fruit-forward red built for hearty meals and confident gatherings. Ripe blackberry and plum meet warming spice and a touch of cocoa, with smooth, integrated tannins and a persistent finish. Pairs nicely with grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses. Tasting notes: - Aroma: Blackberries, black cherries, and plum; black pepper, clove, vanilla; cocoa and a faint tobacco note. - Palate: Full-bodied with dense dark fruit, hints of espresso and cocoa; spice-driven midpalate; rounded, medium-to-coarse tannins. - Finish: Long and spicy, with cocoa and oak accents. - Food pairings: Grilled lamb or steak, barbecued ribs, roasted vegetables with herbs, aged cheddar.
