Pretty good if consumed as a pop and pour. The high alcohol level (almost 16%) unfortunately really saps the life from this wine and after a couple hours it is a complete mess.
Vibrant raspberry flavor, slightly muted nose.

Popped, let sit for an hour, vinturi.
Color: medium-light intensity ruby red. No visible sediment.
Nose: bright raspberry followed closely by stinging ethanol. After passing that, juicy plum and a hint of spice.
Palate: the juicy plum stars here with the raspberry and a hint of sasparilla. There is hardly any tannin but the barest hint of bitterness.
Feel: medium body. Fantastic long finish almost makes up for the ethanol. Lingers for 30+ seconds
