Shop Review: This sweet red wine blend is yummy!
My Review: I absolutely loved this wine. Strangely I have never heard of either of these varieties, but they were good. The nose was somewhat berry-like, but the smells didn't blow me away. They were kind of dulled out compared to the over expression of smells in their other wines, it was almost as if it was musty. But the flavors were no where close to this. Powerful berry flavors, extremely sweet, high sugar content. And although this was not a fizzy wine, it almost felt as if it had a slight tingle of carbonation on the tongue. This was not a flaw as far as I could tell, just very interesting. I actually splurged and bought a glass of this wine to sit and relax with my friend out on the patio after the tasting. A really great wine.
No food.
