"Luscious, yet understated bouquet smells of juice of ripe yellow peaches; softly perfumed and off-dry. The palate entry is pleasantly peach-like, with undertones of nectarine; midpalate is silky, ripe and sweet but not cloying. Finish is superb." 90-95 pts.

"Top notch for the style, a must buy for all wheat beer lovers. Balanced to a T and goes down quicker than water. Add a slice of lemon to break in the novice drinker...."

"Made in the Santa Barbara countryside, Sexual Chocolate is a true California wine, blending old vine Zinfandel from Napa's Howell Mountain with warm climate Santa Barbra Syrah. The Zinfandel presents a rich, warm feel that could be confused with biting into a chocolate covered cherry, while the Syrah adds a smooth, deep and refined finish. Sexual Chocolate pairs well with late nights, friends, and a second bottle of Sexual Chocolate."

"Big and opulant with vibrant black cherry, currant and hints of spice".

"Cooked raspberry, with hints of lemon peel and leaf. Full-bodied and medium sweet, with a beautiful density and a sweet fruity and tannic aftertaste. Balanced yet muscular." 92-95 pts.

"Aroma is of nutty malts, with just a touch of hoppiness. Taste is excellent, slightly dry with a crisp, light bitterness. Mouthfeel is spot on for a brown (ale)...drinkability is excellent...."

"The 2005 presents a purple colour with hints of ruby. The nose reveals a powerful bouquet of firm-textured fruit (gooseberries, blackcurrants) complemented by sweet spices. The full-bodied, flavourful attack is followed by plump tannins; very harmonious finish with lingering aromas of stone fruit. A wine for laying down that suggests very enjoyable future drinking."
