Bonny Doon Raspberry Framboise Book of Love (half-bottle) 2002
Fruit Wine
from Central Coast, California
winemaker's notes:
I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, who-oo-oh WHO came up with this particular marketing scheme. They said our love was Dooned. They said our love was wrong. At the very least, they said our Love ain't always on time. This is the very, very long-awaited Framboise, "Book of Love," replete with a "necker" detailing how to implement Framboise as a cunning instrument of seduction. This new and improved version features the "Morrison" variety of raspberry alongst with the redoubtable Meeker and Tulameen varieties. The "Morrison" is a new hybrid, bred at Puyallup, WA, possessing a wonderful wild raspberry character. Extremely vibrant, this is the most super-charged version of Framboise we have yet unleashed on all of those looking for love in all the right places.
Still the essence of raspberry. Our Framboise™ derives its mystique from three highly aromatic varieties of raspberry cultivated in the state of Washington, namely the Meeker, the Tulameen and the mythical Morrison, an exceptionally flavorful variety selected by us from a raspberry research station in Puyallup, Washington. Prior to the addition of this third variety, we imagined we were already approaching the theoretical limits on the raspberriocity potentiometer. However the Morrison provides an extra quantum of flavor heretofore unknown to fans of this exceptional dessert wine. Perfect for kirs, kir royals, and spritzers.

Serve this wine along with one white and one Belgian dark chocolate truffle per guest as dessert. It is an experience that will take your breath away.
For a moment anyway. Then, you'll be deafened by the chorus: Oh my god; it's to die for!

A great tasting dessert wine for those who love an intense berry taste, not to mention a strong pleasing aroma that will draw you in, beckoning your taste buds, from the start. A great companion to ice cream or cheesecake, but can also be consumed alone. Despite its great taste, it can be considered too sweet for some. For those hot summer afternoons a great choice for sitting by the pool or relaxing on the porch.
