This wine was medium ruby with a garnet rim. The smell resembled Taylor Fladgate 10-year tawny port, with aromas of cough syrup and raspberry. The wine was bold thanks to the high sugar content, with low tannins, medium(-) acidity, and medium alcohol. The wine was sweet. Tastes included maraschino cherry and molasses—like the inside of a chocolate-covered cherry. It had a fairly long finish.
I doubt I would buy this again, but it was certainly interesting.

I hate sweet wines. But as sweet wines go, this isn’t bad, surprisingly, given its name. Enough body, depth and character to make it interesting. Paired w raspberries, lemongrass and turmeric ice cream.

This had a bunch of positive reviews but didn't pan out for us. Tasted like cheap Lambrusco, without bubbles. Sweet and thin, some cough syrup flavors.

Jam Jar, as the name implies. Outstanding nose which is basically a berry bomb. Smooth and easy to drink with a pleasant finish. Will buy again!
