Grabbed a bottle from whole foods for Game of Thrones finale. Slightly pinkish brew with fine head. Nose is vinous and slightly medicinal. Tastes of raspberry and cherry but much more subdued than you’d think with name, not jammy at all. Also get some dry red wine, herbs, hay, and lacto. Drying finish quite bubble but not really tart. Pleasant but not outstanding.
