Tasting - Daniel Cellars Aurora Chocolate Raspberry Wine

Name: Daniel Cellars Aurora Chocolate Raspberry Wine
Variety: Blend, Red Dessert Wine
Region: Barboursville, Virginia
Country: United States
Year: Non-vintage
Price: Frontline $18 sale, $3.95

Store Review: Aurora is a sweet red wine that Daniel Cellars have added Chocolate and Raspberries to. Chocolate is the dominate aroma and flavor with Raspberry accents. This is a perfect wine for chocolate lovers. Best served ice cold with a friend.

My Review: I am not typically a fan of dessert wines, and for the most part this was no exception. While it was wonderful to smell, with strong suggestions of chocolate, and the raspberry did come across decently well on the tongue, overall the wine felt and tasted too syrupy in my mouth. That said, it felt brighter than most dessert wines.

I tried it on its own, with no food.
