Wine Critic/Review: The most popular berry in the world is one of the bestselling wines. The Strawberry Wine is fruity-sweet, zesty and long on aromatic delight. Along with its clean finish, this wine makes it seem like summer anytime of the year. Made with only the most luscious strawberries, you will savor the sweet juciness and deep red color in every glass. (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

The Blueberry Wine is fruity and peppery with a 'hint' of clove that is long on blueberry flavor. Low acidity makes for a wonderful warm, sweet experience. (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

Personal Review: Unique deep lavender/blue color.Smells of blackberries, raspberries, and of course, blueberries. Mild mild mild tannin flavors and richer sweetness than the other wines. Mild finish of black currant.

Wine Critic/Review:  There are few fruits that are as delightful to eat as the colorful, sweet tasting plum. Our Plum Wine is light, sweet semi-dry with a refreshingly, crisp, mellow finish. You will enjoy this soft, juicy, delicate fruit in each glass of the Plum Wine. (Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg VA)

Personal Review: Barney purple transluscent color! Love it.Mild sweetness and a hint (subtle) tannic flavor- seriously! Great without food but if you insist, I wouldn't dare to match this with more than a piece of fish or a salad. No distinct finish but pleasantly sweet.
