Tasting - Brownie Points

Name: Brownie Points
Variety: Blend
Country: U.S.
Region: California
Year: 2012
Price: $7.49

Tasting Notes: Our lush, full-bodied red has aromas of ripe cherries and hints of mocha that melt into a rich, silky finish.

My review: Solid wine for the price!  I actually decently enjoyed this wine.  On my first whirl I picked up a lot of cherries mixed with like chocolate powder or something.  It reminded me of coco powder honestly.  Definitely not a full bodied wine for sure, but it did have very soft tannins that melted away into a silky finish. This wine was chocolaty/mochay for sure.

I enjoyed this wine with some thin mints.  I noticed that the chocolate flavors of this wine vanished to open up a more fruity cherry-like blend.
