In a dessert wine mood this weekend, this Elephant Island Winery Cassis is delicious and tart. Not your typical wine. At the winery I was told that once opened, it will hold for 6-8 months in a cool dark place, I’m guessing the 16%alc helps with that. This stuff is definitely a sip casually for dessert type wine however, but since it’s supposed to stay good for quite awhile after opening, you can afford to keep cracking it for a little bit every so often. Feel like this stuff is definitely not everyone’s cup of tea though, my father described it as “liquid candy.”

Could be good mixed but don’t like it on its own. Too rich.
