Winery Review: This is a distinctive dessert wine made from a blend of native American grape varieties. It exhibits flavors of fresh grapes and cherries that are complemented by a sweet, smooth finish. A nice accompaniment for chocolate desserts, delicious poured over pound cake, or served as an aperitif.
My Review: I really did not enjoy this wine as much as I thought I was going to. My first impression of the smell was that it smelled slightly like cough syrup mixed with fruit salad. As I tasted it, the wine was very sweet, maybe a little too sweet even for someone with a giant sweet tooth. I got hints of raspberry and blackberry and maybe even some raisin flavors. If this wine was a little drier or eaten with some dessert I may have enjoyed it slightly more.
I tasted this with out food.
