Enticing, complex blend of blueberries, black cherries and black currants balanced with basic elements of mead; honey, water and yeast. Our Flagship mead, Desire is a must with cheeses, Italian dishes, rich saucy meat dishes, or with Belgian chocolates.

Bottle. Pours a clear plummish amber with no head whatsoever. Aroma has is full of sweet honey with a hint of dryness and a good amount of tart dark fruits. Flavor is a combination of sweet honey, sweet dark fruits and tart dark fruits with just a hint of dryness in the finish.

Bottle sample at Provisions - Northampton, MA. Pours clear, reddish-purple. Lovely, with lots of jammy blueberries. Decadent and sweet, with layers of honey and berry fruits. Full bodied, thick, somewhat chewy. Finishes with light warmth, lots of sticky sugars, delicious interplay between the fruits and the honey. Extremely drinkable and tasty. World-class.

Bottle - Nice honey and berries. Clear maroon with no head. Overripe berries, sweet with some nice tartness. Not cloying and fairly clean finish for a mead. Very well done.

$15.99 375ml bottle with a particularly difficult cork. Pours a deep red to purple hue. Not quite as inky as a cab or syrah but closer to a barolo. Some trace bubbles around the side. Decent legs. Very jammy aroma. Lightly vegital (I sometimes get this with currants), dark fruits, currants, earthy, pepper, tobacco, red wine, honey, perfume and a light hint of fudge. Flavors of raspberries, cherries, currants. Lightly medicinal/chloroseptic like before it opens up fully. Juicy, a bit boozy. Quite a fair amount of acid. Overall mildly tart, mild tannins. Strong berry presence. Lightly peppery alcohol. Warming. Minimal, but some effervescence (seems to have refermented a little bit in the bottle). Medium to full body. Big!
