Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon

Three Thieves Cabernet Sauvignon is one we have not tried before. It has a tartness that we have not not experienced with other wines. But, the kicker is it remains smooth as you drink it. In other words, it does not make us pucker our lips like a lemon slice does. Interesting for us.... both Winos agree to purchase this one again!

Assessment: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
- Additional notes: Note the tartness that remains smooth to drink.

Chocolate Shop Wine

Tried Chocolate Shop Wine on a whim. Was not sure how chocolate would effect wine. In this instance, it was positive! There is a hint of dark chocolate when you sniff it. It tastes great as well. Overall, the Winos give this one a Good Rating! Even better is the 12.5% Alcohol Content to give it a little oomph!
