Tasting - Doña Sol Sweet Red Blend

Name: Doña Sol Sweet Red Wine
Variety: Shiraz, Petite Syrah, & Symphony
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: N/A
Price: $6.95
Shop 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: Wow! This wine was SWEET, just like the label says! When I first started drinking wines, this would have been my favorite. It tastes like juice. Now I tend to prefer dry reds. Regardless, this was a great sweet red. I got aromas of strawberries and dark fruits. It tasted like juice. Delicious!
Food pairing: I didn't pair this with any food either since it was just at the wine tasting. However, I would definitely want to try this with a classic cheesecake. I think it's a perfect dessert wine because it's sweet but not overly sweet like some ports. One of my best friends loves sweet red wine so I had her try this. She LOVED it and bought a bottle right then and there. 

I definitely recommend this wine for people who like sweet reds! Let me know in the comments below if you try it!

Cheers,
Natalie
