Upon listening to lectures about how wines aren't always made from grapes, I came to an important conclusion that I want to try berry wines. The first wine of the week is for the first time now a grape based wine, but a raspberry one!

Critic Review: Unfortunately this specific wine is super new, and apparently very rare, so there was nothing on it online. Therefore, the critic review is coming about another raspberry based wine. With this raspberry wine we use approximately seven pounds to the gallon for a premium wine that tastes just like fresh raspberries. This wine offers a touch of tartness and traditional berry flavor for a great wine experience [1].
Wine Folly Review: Unfortunately Wine Folly was also confused about non-grape wines. The best I could fine is a wine with tasting notes of raspberry - Cinsault. Cinsault is one of the minor blending grapes in Rhône / GSM blends and Provence rosé. Expect fresh, punchy reds that are just as floral as they are fruity. Try Cinsault with lighter but nevertheless well-spiced vegetarian Indian fare. This is a versatile food-pairing red wine because of its low tannin [pg. 87, 2].
Personal Review: Honestly, I really enjoyed this wine. It was medium sweet, had low tannins and somewhat decent acidity. Sweetness and acidity balanced each other very well, keeping alcohol content low made lack of tannins perfectly reasonable. It was very easy to drink, the only downside, it did seem like there were food flavoring added to it, which does defeat the point of wine making. Probably not going to get it again, but it was a nice afternoon drink.
