Shop review: This wine pairs well with spicy grilled meats and is simply amazing with chocolate.  Try drizzled over pound cake for dessert!  Serve lightly chilled.

My review:  This was the first non-grape wine I had ever had, and it was surprisingly good. It smelled like a bowl full of cherries, unsurprisingly, and very sweet. Surprise, it tasted like cherries. It was not acidic at all, and had a very round texture. It had an extremely long cherry finish, almost like a cough syrup that actually tasted good. The server recommended replacing water with this when baking deserts, and I could easily see how that would be a fantastic idea. Would easily get this again, if only to try that.
