Very good Syrah. On the nose it has a perfume type aroma, with hints of berries such as blue berries. The palate is smooth, and balanced. Tannins are moderately strong but not too strong. It doesn’t leave a burning sensation in the back of your throat. — 7 years ago

Chocovine Chocolate Red Wine:

Chocovine is a combination of red wine with Dutch chocolate imported from Holland.

The taste of Chocovine is sweet, but has a kick to it when you taste it. The reason for the kick is the strong alcohol content, in which the ABV is 14%. The chocolate overcomes the red wine part of the drink, which is a bit unfortunate. It's okay by itself but it is best in a cocktail, such as an ice cream cocktail. The body of this wine is smooth, and a little buttery, which is a nice taste. Overall, it is not bad. — 8 years ago

Review:

Martini and Rossi Moscato d' Asti
From the region of Piedmont, Italy,
this wine is made of Moscato Bianco grapes handpicked.

When I tasted it the first thing I noticed was the aroma. It has a very floral kind of smell, and also has hints of banana, and maybe lemon. The body of the wine has a water-like consistency, and you can feel this when you sip it. It has a balanced kind of taste. Not too sweet and not too acidic. Very pleasant overall. I certainly recommend it. — 8 years ago

Real Sangria by Cruz Garcia.
Imported from Spain.

When you first open this bottle, you can smell all of the different fruit aromas, and is even more prevalent when you pour yourself a glass. It's like a battle of the fruits, each of them trying to win you over. It won me over when I opened the bottle. In the smell specifically, was different kinds of berries. I could smell a little citrus but the berries might have overpowered that particular sent. I'm not a flamboyant person, but the taste made me feel that way. It is also balanced as it is not too sweet, and not too acidic. The body of the Sangria was a little smooth, a little watery. The color in particular was that of a bluish, and reddish which makes for a nice appearance. The alcohol content is 7% which is not too high so it won't be too strong. Overall I really enjoyed and and would recommend it to anyone who loves Sangria. — 8 years ago

Yellow Tail Sangria. It's inspired by Sangria made from Spain. They say on their site that it is from Australia.

Tasting this, the first thing I noticed was the alcohol content. The ABV is 11% which is not strong compared to Real Sangria by Cruz Garcia, which is 7%. I felt a bit of a strong sensation in my nose, and a little burning in my throat. The good thing about it though was the fruity taste that it had to it. You can taste the citrus, as well as different berries such as a little raspberry, and blueberry. It has some Flamboyance. It's a bit off-dry, because the sweetness level was not as high as other Sangria would be, and leaves a bit of a dryness in my mouth. Call me biased but I really felt this way when trying it. Everyone is different. Overall, it's not bad and it's cool to have when having a party and you don't have a lot of money to spend on wine. — 8 years ago
