Just a little something to sip on while canning tomatoes. None of this rich baby's going in the sauce though.

Black olive, cola, tar, Amaro and violets. Evolved numerous times over a 3 hour drinking window. Tannins make themselves apparent early in the mid and they were deliciously chewy and expansive without becoming overbearing or clumsy. Would've loved to see how the fruit looked and how the ferments were conducted to craft this wine!
