The name is leading. Or is it just accurate? A sniff of it made me think “this is trouble” in the way I think “it must be pheromones” when I find someone who seems like a bad romance to be irresistible; I’m gonna drink them up all the same. On the palate it’s rich upscale chocolate covered cherries—are they trash? Or are they just delicious? I dunno this also made me think “off-dry Mc Donald’s vanilla milkshake” which if that could exist I don’t care if there’s a bit of trash to it it’s delicious.

Imagine milk chocolate covered coconut combined with black cherry jam. Extremely smooth and seductive.

It's called #lust and that's what I do for this wine. A killer #zin #zinfandel that has off the chart alcohol but is still balanced at 16.9%. Gotta love what #michaeldavid does.

Interesting wine, 15.5% which shows on nose but not crazy hot on palate/finish, more red fruits then black. More elegant then that in your face, smashing your teeth in style. Moderate spice and acidity.

Everything over here is extreme! The Color, structure, nose and finish.

Black, purple in color with a crimson rim.
Beautiful fruity nose with blackberries,caramel, figs, raisins, alcohol, vanilla, cocoa, dark chocolate, black pepper and spices.

Big and bold, full bodied with gorgeous long thick legs that show off its 16.9% alcohol.
Jammy on the palate with dark berries, fig marmalade, raisins, peppercorn, herbs, cooking spices, chocolate, vanilla and sweet candy.


Long spicy finish with soft tannins.

This is a classy, sweet wine, almost a port (shy 0.1% alcohol).
If fruity and sweet is your thing, you'll fall in love (for $50).
