Winery Review: Doesn’t try to hide its warm-climate terroir, with a soft texture framing jammy-sweet black raspberry, cherry, red currant, root beer and sweet tea. Drink now.

My Thoughts: Smell is very sweet and full of berry.Tastes even sweeter. Very similar to a raspberry jam. Easy for me to drink, unlike most reds. Though I feel its cheating, since it tastes more like Kool-Aid than wine. Need to try it with a slice of chocolate cake.
