Review:
A rich nose offers aromas of cherries, raspberries, boysenberries, sweet spice, herbs, and a few floral notes. On the palate, raspberries, boysenberries, and cranberry jam combine nicely with brighter floral suggestions. A round, lush, rather sweet wine but it’s but not one dimensional. If you like sweetness with some depth, this is a wine to try. Cheesecake sounds like the perfect pairing.
