Shop review: “Doesn’t try to hide its warm-climate terroir, with a soft texture faming jammy-sweet black raspberry, cherry, red currant, root beer and sweet tea. Drink now.” (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

My review: I could definitely taste the fruit in this wine.  The taste that stuck out to me was the raspberries- in fact the wine tasted more like raspberries to me than it did grapes.  It was a nice, sweet red wine, and I regret not buying a bottle when I was at the wine store.

I drank this without food, though I was told at the tasting that it goes well with chocolate.
