Okay, so I don't drink coffee in the morning, and rarely drink it at all. However, I was turned onto this wine, and while it has some medium tannins that make it a little rough, this wine contains both a plum jam component and the finest dusting of cocoa on it. While not full bodied, allowing it to sit for a few minutes truly brings out the flavor. The downside is it contains sulfites, but I am also interested to know what it's blended with, I am thinking a little Carmenere.
