Fresh-crushed cranberries leap skyward, trailing wisps of whole cinnamon stick and wild herbs like a climber's chalk dust in mountain air. The palate dances between sour cherry and pomegranate gummies, zipping across the tongue with taught precision before settling into a sweet tea finish that calls for another sip.
