  probably drank this too early, sweet red fruit and not much else peaking through. I think this should sit a year or so.

  Retail $30. The dessert wine is essentially a combination of two vintages: some 2007 Merlot was sent to a distillery and then added to a field blend (mostly Merlot and Malbec with splashes of Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon) of 2008 fruit. The resultant wine has a beautiful ruby color with fine red fruit nose. Exactly what you want in a dessert wine: sweet without being cloying. 17.4% alcohol.
