Santa Julia makes several wines, and after tasting their Torrontes at a mixer for BPM in Baltimore at the Red Maple (shout out to Teddy Coates and BPM), I am game to try what other quaffs that they produce. So, while I was in Canal's and saw this wine in the dessert wines aisle, I thought that I'd give it a try.

First off, it has a very refreshing taste, and reminded me of a honey-raspberry mead [without the raspberries and strong alcohol content] that a friend in New Hampshire had given me. You also taste raisins, and perhaps maybe another fruit which I can't quite put my finger on.

It's smooth, without a syrupy texture, and has a nice finish and aftertaste.

I highly recommend this as a purchase, which now tells me that I need to start putting together an ideal list of wines in each category for people to have.
