Huckleberry mead.....Oh.My.God.
This mead is a semi-dry mead. The nose is delicate, just a hint of honey and berry. Once you taste it, tho, you will know a fine mead. This mead has a piquant taste, semi-dry, tart and sweet at the same time, with a full honey followed by huckleberry, full and rich. The finish is tart, leaving you with a rich, full taste that takes *ages* to fade.
My friend Elizabeth captured the nature of the mead by saying 'This is a good mead for people who don't like mead'. I agree completely. This mead neatly straddles the mead-wine line, and would be a great intro mead for someone who's never tried it. I would (and *did*) finish the bottle.
A fine mead, and well worth the $10 it cost me at the health food place I discovered it in. If you like semi-dry, and you like berry, you *must* try this mead. http://www.paintedrocks-winery.com (website not yet up).

Painted Rocks Mead
To all mead-heads in the Northwest,
I agree with Vicky's review whole-heartedly. You have to go to the winery link below and see the place were it is brewed, nothing short of magical, it looks like something out of Tolkien or George R.R. Martin literature. I personally have only tried the Pure Honey Mead, but I have nothing negitive to say about it...nothing at all. It was a little dryer than I like...but those that like the more wine taste to their mead...this is a must have.
