About the Wine: Pazdar is an obscure winery in upstate New York that claims the rather dubious distinction of being the first to make chocolate wine. Based on my experience of chocolate wine it is not something I would boast about, but it is an interesting distinction.
About THIS Wine: It is amber in the glass with no distinct rim, about the color of a heavily oaked or slightly spoiled Chard. Bananas and dark chocolate are prominent on the nose, which is not really a surprise since that is how the wine is advertised. The palate is nowhere near as sweet as I had expected. The semisweet palate allowed the banana and chocolate flavors to develop nicely.
Drinking This Wine: This is a nice after dinner drink. Could go well with pound cake or some other moderately sweet dessert. It would also be a good sweet sipping wine.
Overall Impression: This stuff is actually pretty good. I never thought I would say this, but this chocolate wine is good for the price.
