Ingredients: water, peach-blackberry-black currant and tart cherry juice blend from concentrate, date syrup, rose petal extract, balsamic vinegar (wine vinegar, grape must), ceylon tea extract, gentian root extract, vanilla extract, cocoa extract, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, ashwagandha extract, green tea extract, oak chip extract, black pepper flavor, pine extract, eose extract, and myrrh extract.
Taste: This one smelled like a red wine right when I opened it. It has a fruity taste with more berry and cranberry notes. It's also got some depth and heaviness to it with a subtle woodsy/earthy taste, probably from the vanilla oak. There's a slight bitterness to this with an aftertaste that lingers for a longer time. It is similar to the Champignon Dreams but has a richer taste with more depth. It's more intense than the other two with a more elevated flair. I wouldn't drink this socially but more with dinner or to chill out and unwind.
Food pairings: steak au poivre, dark chocolate, radishes with good butter, dates, pastitsio
