•Your review- Just from reading the description, this wine worried me when going to taste it. I am largely not a fan of extremely sweet wines, and the server was very clear in saying how sweet this wine was. Once poured into the glass it had a light red color, and actually was a very good looking color wine, it was very different but quite interesting. Once the wine was given a swirl I approached the nose, and not surprisingly, the wine had a very overpowering raspberry nose to it, and that was nearly all I could smell from the nose. I then took a sip of this wine, only to get the same feeling from the taste, it was very heavy on the raspberry's and they were quite overpowering, but at the same time not bad. This wine was very sweet with the raspberry element, but at the same time it left me wanting a bit more, so overall this was a quite good sweet wine.
-I did not have food with this wine.
