We have been disappointed in the past with trendy looking labels. This bottle did not just surpass our expectations….it smashed our expectations. This is a bottle that you must pick up when you get the chance. The price is right and the complexity is so much fun. $9 from Sprouts

• Strong aromas of fresh, and crisp red berries
• Slight scent of dark moist soil
• Not very sweet, but has a nice balance of fruit and earthiness
• Felt soft and velvety in the mouth
• Flavors of strawberry and caramel with a hint of vanilla on the tip of the tongue
• Like meeting someone that just rubs you the wrong way at first but then after a while you find that you misjudged them and they have actually become a good friend that you would not trade for the world.
