Fruit forward but warm and complex going down. Parked with pizza which didn’t seem like the right match…needed like a chicken cacciatore or a marinated skirt steak. Would like to try again. Second glass was better than the first. — 4 years ago

Another yummy one...complex and spicy enough to hold its own against some of my favorites, like AJ Pearce, when I don’t have the $$$ for AJ Pearce. — 6 years ago

A cross between the prosecco I love and the sav blanc I love.
It’s like the spritzer I like but now don’t have to make! So so refreshing on a summer day...discovered on a summer date night with the hubby at the new wine bar in Rye.

Valentine’s Day! I bought cuz the name fit with the holiday, but I was pleasantly surprised. Dark cherry, but tart not sweet...still has a smooth feeling. We had it with ribs and broccoli rabe, then chocolate covered strawberries. Thank you Cupid! ❤️ — 4 years ago

Very enjoyable! Lasted a few days (because I often drink alone). Spices and mixtures...a nice addition to my exploration into red blends!
Good for sipping by a fire or alongside pasta!

Changing my initial rating. Not going down as smoothly this second time around. More tart...less complexity. Not sure what’s changed or why. Hmmm?

Other than the fact that the name/label is perfect for Halloween...I’m obsessed with the oaky spicy twist on the red blend! Sweet enough to sip but spicy enough to enjoy! — 5 years ago

The aroma is so special! Chalk and berries and flowers...little bit of oak...then turns buttery. Fills the nostrils...then tastes smooth and light going down. A really nice shift from our otherwise sweeter choices. Poured tonight to share with hubby to begin to make up after an argument...it’s working so far ;) — 6 years ago
