Royal Bitch Review: This wine was cold macerated prior to its alcoholic fermentation for a gentle extraction of tannins and flavors. Rich texture with deep raspberries, spice and floral aromas that linger on the mouth. Ripe tannins give this wine a medium texture and a pleasant finish marked by red fruits.

My Review: I picked up this wine because I thought the winery name was amusing but I actually ended up really enjoying the wine as well. It smelled yeasty with some vegetables as well as dark fruit. The taste was sweeter than expected and was very smooth. Definitely a wine I would buy again.
