Online Review:

This is a distinctive dessert wine made from a blend of native American grape varieties. It exhibits flavors of fresh grapes and cherries that are complemented by a sweet, smooth finish. A nice accompaniment for chocolate desserts, delicious poured over pound cake, or served as an aperitif.

Personal Review:

This wine was purchased by my lovely roommate. She has been trying out a lot of what Chateau Morrisette has to offer. This wine is a dessert wine and so it tastes very sweet. There is a small hint of cherry flavor but overall it taste like I am eating fresh red grapes with barely any alcohol. The one thing in particular this wine reminds me of is a weaker version of my childhood wine, the lovely typical Shabbat wine called Manischewitz. This was unfortunately the first wine I was ever introduced to and knowing that I am surprised I every drank wine again.
