Tasting Notes

"An intense berry note is found on the nose along with a slight spiced aroma. Hard to discern exactly what spices but thoughts of mulled wine come to mind, although in a low intensity. The taste is moderately sweet with enough tartness to make it pop. Not uber complex, but it gets the job done. All about the berries, or plums in this case. Have on the rocks with some selzer or go all out and have with Champagne."
