"DATE: 08-18-07 Appearance: Deep ruby.
Nose: Intense cassis, jammy, rich, inviting.
Palate: Sweetish with good acidity, midweight plus. Big cassis flavours follow the nose, ripe fruit, goodly tannins, nicely integrated sugar/alcohol, tastes less sweet than you would think. Very long clean, surprisingly dryish, finish.
Conclusions: Unique and intense black currant wine with tons of flavour. This could probably go fifteen years or more in a good cellar, getting softer and more mellow as it ages. Not sure what situation to use this in, except of course that it is very good by itself." lfw


FROM THE PRODUCERS:"The second in the Signature Series of wines from Scotch Block Winery. Desire is a traditional late harvest wine, with the harvest occurring 5 weeks after normal picking was completed. Extremely full bodied, this wine introduces you to black currant fruit, cedar, ripe berries and a spiciness that finishes off with a soft sweetness that anyone will love.

A real crowd pleaser."
