Wow! What a punch! Didn't like it at first but then it grew on me. I like it! Strong berry flavor and no dryness.

This blend has a unique story... out of the deadly Caribbean waters of the 17th century comes the true story of Jacquottie Delahaye, an orphan driven to piracy as a tender girl. Later, to evade the law, faked her own death, but upon being discovered earned her treacherous moniker “Back from the Dead Red” stirring fear into the hearts of any who saw her fiery red hair at the helm. As deadly as she was beautiful her legend continues to inspire many a buccaneer!

Strong and dry...AT FIRST. Once it's there, it finishes sweet. A BIG surprise, but a GREAT surprise and enjoyable for sure. Love it, pricey (over $20), but it's DEFINITELY worth it. I'll spend more for this quality, for sure! The bottle is gorgeous and has a great story.

Dry/Medium 2013 blend that cascades into a sweet (plum like) tart finish. There's a fun little backstory on the side of the bottle that coincides with the beautiful label.

Dry medium body blend with plum followed by spice and tart finish. Unique embossed label with a backstory make it fun for conversation. I don't mind it, but won't likely purchase it twice. I prefer something smoother and less tart.

Cool label.. Good price. Solid. Not as bold as I had hoped
