A Smile of Fortune is a dark fruit melomel containing Black Currants, Lutowka Cherries, Heritage Red Raspberries and Oregon Boysenberries. Intensely bold fruits balance their tart, tannic, and acidic flavors with the sweetness of high quality, responsibly sourced honey. Fortune truly smiled upon this mixed fruit melomel, and we are grateful for the result. Pairs beautifully with fresh young cheeses, pork, or chocolate.

Bottle pour at Schramm's, pours a deep dark mahogany. Aroma is intensely complex, with a vanilla-like expression exuding from the fruit combination, along with marzipan, mixed berries, and rich but masked honey. Flavour is quite decadent, with a mix of marzipan, vanilla, and mixed berries. Perhaps less sweet than many other Schramm's products. Decadent stuff.

Purple blood red. Smells insane. The nose is remarkable. HUGE cherry aroma with a light raspberry and lovely red wine. Wow. Oily coats the tongue it’s sweet, dry and tannic all in one with a delicious wine finish. This is amazing. Honey is present but make. Wow.

Bottle shared at Kingsday Tasting 2019. Beautiful dark red color, no head. Smell and taste is super concentrated thick berry juice. Sweetish. Red fruit. Intense. 8-4-8-4-16.
