Winery Review: "These three varietals have been harvested and aged in bourbon barrels coming from our neighbor Bowman Distillery. Rabelos is rich in wonderful flavors of ripe raspberries, baked plums, and cherries with a strong and full body. Never heavy but sweet and powerful with a toasted oaky finish. It is a never ending wine and the perfect ending to any meal.
My Review: Wow. This tasted like a rich raspberry chocolate torte. It also had amazing hints of coconut which was rather shocking but a wonderful aspect too it. It was very rich and sweet, but it was well balanced so I found it quite enjoyable. The white dessert wine was just WAY too sweet, something I thought did not exist. I suppose desert wines should resemble the deserts they are paired with however, so they should be rich and sweet. I would love to get drunk off of this.
