Winery Review: Shiraz has a unique jammy fruit character that is well represented in the Sweet Red. Both on the nose and on the palate, jammy fruit, like strawberries, cherry pie and red licorice, entices the senses and pair well with cheeses and desserts.
My Review: Of all the wines at the tasting, the Dona Sol was by far the sweetest smelling. Gives off a very evident aroma of fruity candy. My first reaction after taking a sip was sugar! This wine was absolutely delicious, however, it was very heavy. It was so rich that I would be tapping out after one glass. It was like I was drinking a cherry candy treat. Did not take long for me to identify this as a dessert wine. I am personally not a sweets kinda guy so I was not the largest fan, although I can certainly see how this would be nice to indulge in on special occasions.
