Probably could have posted this in the "Wines Without A Category" thread, but technically, I'm not sure it's actually "wine."
Bonny Doon makes a raspberry wine with grape neutral spirits called Framboise. It was delicious with some chocolate mini cakes we had for dessert this past weekend. 17% alc., and had the mouthfeel and texture of a port, but was veeeery sweet. It's all about raspberry syrup, and it's fun to drink (though dangerous -- even in our little cordials, we destroyed the 375 ml bottle in no time flat). $11, and a nice little dessert wine change of pace with chocolate. I still like Banyuls or Banfi's Rosa Regale sparkling wine with chocolate, but this was nice, too.

Raspberry and chocolate are a nice match. Also strawberry and chocolate.

This is off topic as it has nothing to do with wine. If you like raspberry and chocolate you should find a La Madeleine restaurant near you and have a slice of the Sorcher Tort. That is most likely spelled incorrectly.

MCD- that is Sacher torte. WW- fruit and chocolate and bubbblies...
