Lightly brambled and ever so slightly green, with pleasant strawberry and raspberry aromas. The mouthfeel is a touch choppy and grabby, but it’s not too thin and rough to make it unpleasant. Not bad for the price.——M.S.(2/1/2008)—— 83

Transparent in color, with bubblegum and candied fruit on the nose. Sweet and rubbery on the palate, with a lean, burnt personality. Not horrible but surely nothing to rave about. ——M.S.(6/1/2006)—— 80

Generally gimmicky names draw no applause from these parts, but here we like this wine’s raspberry, graham cracker and orange-peel nose along with its crystallized raspberry and strawberry flavors. It’s slightly gritty and sugary, but overall it’s still fresh enough to handle the sweetness.——M.S.(3/1/2005)—— 84
