Personal Review:
Another fruit bomb...actually no this isn't just a bomb it's an atomic fruit bomb of sweet explosions [AFBSE]! Wow did this wine taste sweet! Out of the fruity-grape wines I've tasted so far here, this one is my favorite fruity-grape one. I am a sucker for peach, so the Hilton Head Forest Peach Beach catered to my sweet tooth. This one is a Chardonnay based with a peach infusion, giving it a sweet peach characteristic.
Personal Score: G (3.0/5)

Personal Review:
BOOM right in your face here's a wine that combines Cabernet Sauvignon and cherry. Unlike descriptions of wine where you last hints of black cherry, this wine says, "Hey! I'm gonna smack you in the face with cherry". You can immediately smell the cherry emanating from the tiny cup and can taste it as soon as the wine reaches your tongue. A very fruity wine that made me think of cherry-flavored cough medicine.

Personal Review:
This wine was very similar to the previous Cabernet Sauvignon but instead of cherry, this one had a pomegranate infusion. It was very sweet almost to the point of bitter. Again I couldn't taste much of the grape, making this seem to be less of a wine and more of a wine cooler. I would recommend these wines if you enjoy very sweet wines that don't taste like wine.
Personal Score: NG (2.6/5)
