Winery Review: This blend of fresh raspberry wine and rich, aged red wine creates a remarkable blend that is both sweet and grand - a reflection of the wine's namesake and Doukenie's daughter, Hope Bazaco.

My Review: On the nose, I smelled blackberries and chocolates. The first sip was sweet as candy, and the midpalate was juicy, with hints of deep currants and spices. The aftertaste was smooth, but this wine too rich to have more that one glass of. I did not pair this dessert wine with any food.
