As the 2014 Gold Medal winner at the Mazer Cup International, this sweet and rich drink is unparalled in qualty. The flavors in this wine reveal raspberry and white chocolate notes as you have never experienced. Enjoy as the perfect digestif paired with a rich slice of chocolate cake, a fresh hot brownie or with a fine cigar. Cheers!

Bottle at Bottlecraft - San Diego. Pours clear purple. Big nose, dense raspberry jam, a little vanilla. Full sweet flavour with lots of jammy berries, still some dryness, mild alcohol, seedy raspberry preserve, cherry, blackberry. Full bodied, lightly chewy. Finishes with more Rich raspberry preserve, some blueberry yoghurt. Sweet and jammy for sure, but it also dries out quickly. Excellent. (May 2018)

Bottle at Hatten. Deep red wine color. Most tart of the berry forward ones. Raspberries, vanilla and almost some grape character. Great one, but not as complex.

(From bottle @ Omnipollos Hatt, Feb 24/18) Pours deep red wine colour without head. Aroma of jammy, slightly tart raspberry/mixed red berries, even cherry, rich layered honey, smooth white chocolate and vanilla, hints of red wine. Flavour is quite sweet but with a prominent tart edge, raspberry jam, tingling cranberry, sweet honey, touches of white chocolate and vanilla, slight earth, long sweet-tart finish. Full oily body with a hint of alcohol. Lovely, stands out as the most overtly tart of the series and perhaps gives up a little richness for it, but it's still great.

Bottle courtesy of Mark & bottle bought at the source through a proxy. 2015 & 2016 vintage. Extremely deep red pour leaving plenty of sticky legs on the glass. Intense red berry nose (not sure I'd say raspberry if trying it blind), vanilla pale honey & oak. Sweet, sour & heavy fruity taste. Viscous, oily & fairly tannic astringent mouthfeel. Complex & tasty. 2016 definitely has more "white chocolate" with 2015 being more tannic.

Bottle graciously shared by Matt - thanks man! I think we drank a lot of it :P Pours clear burgundy, no head or lacing. Aroma is honey, field honey with a nice wild desert feel to it, wildflowers, berries. Flavor is quite sweet - desert sipper this one - berries, hints of cocoa, honey with that desert wildflower tang. Medium body. Delicious.
