Wine Tasting: Chocolate shop

This dessert wine is from Columbia Valley, Washington and the big thing about this wine is that THEY DO NOT LIST ANYTHING ON THE BOTTLE OR THEIR WEBSITE. I scoured the internet to find out where they were from and thats the only piece of information I found. There is no listed vintage. There are no listed grapes, just the fact that its a red wine blend. It made it so aggravating to write a blog about. This wine was placed around $11. 

The winemaker notes on this bottle are," experience the pure decadence of smooth red wine bleded with velvety chocolate essence. fruit Forward aromas of black cherry and dark chocolate lead to a kiss of sweetnessand a balanced finish. Sip. Savor. and indulge in this classic pairing crafted for moments of pure enjoyment." and oh did they not hold back on the cherry and chocolate mix. Thats all I can taste. 

The aroma characteristics (with some mistakes due to my allergies) from using the wine folly aroma chart, https://shop.winefolly.com/collections/tool/products/wine-aromas-chart, are Black cherry and dark chocolate, but primarily dark chocolate... While tasting this wine, my taste buds were immediately overwhelmed with cherry chocolate. It felt like I had taken a bite out of a truffle , but in a bad way. It felt like a punch in the face with a smooth chocolaty  hand caressing the wound after, with a dash of cherry.  Id give this wine a 4/10. It is a nice, wow thats chocolate! next! wine... only for tastings...
