Pure Strawberry, that's the headline here. I know, its Raspberry, yet it comes out not Raspberry to me. lol. Wine should be "grape", and here we are. I've sat on this for a bit, maybe that is the thing, its also NV. There's no decant and the nose is head on stewed strawberries pure as can be, whip cream... and it all smells delicious. No notes of green tops, fruit forward. Palate is full speed ahead the same. a laser …

Sourced from Mike and Jean's Berry Farm. Morrison (bitterness) and Meeker Raspberry varieties. From Mt Vernon. Yeah, liquid raspberries.

Tasty, but somewhat lacking in acidity while still seeming tart. However, the wine did pair very well with Ghirardelli chocolate brownies.

Excellent smooth raspberry, but without excessive sweetness or acidity. Paired very well with dark chocolate.

Excellent for a framboise. Strong raspberry, perfect for pairing with softer desserts or chocolate.

This is a concentrated fruitbomb of sweet raspberry juice with some perfumy and candied flavors. Dangerously delicious but it is more like liquid candy than wine.

Tasted like a fresh raspberry. Slightly unbalanced, with the sugars.

Don't think this is meant to drink standalone, or else, I don't anyway. Not scoring it because I just don't think it's that kind of wine. Good on vanilla ice cream for dessert, or in a mixed cocktail, but generally good if you want a concentrated raspberry flavor to mix with.

Almost stunning aroma of raspberries including all those relevant herbal aspects. Very sweet and luscious feel saved by the refreshingly high acidity. All about raspberry. Slightly bitter warm finish. Nice one.

I really regret the dieting that I'm doing. This would be perfect with French Vanilla ice cream, or perhaps a nice cheesecake. Very nice, full of raspberries and summer.

Full blown raspberry & kirsch aroma. Sweet raspberry fruit flavors with a clean finish. This is tasty stuff.
