Tasting Notes

Smooth, rich, and bursting with flavor.

Black & Bruised is a blend of blackberry and Concord wines — two of our most-loved flavors, brought together in perfect harmony. It’s juicy, jammy, and sweet from start to finish, with a deep purple color and a soft, velvety texture that makes it hard to put down.

Pairing Suggestions

- BBQ, smoked meats, or burgers — sweet balances smoky.
- Chocolate desserts — from brownies to truffles.
- Soft cheeses or cheesecake — rich and creamy meets fruity and bold.
- Or, just enjoy it cold — no pairing needed.

Story Behind the Wine

Our #1 wine used to be Concord, and #2 was Lauren’s Blackberry. One day, our owner sat down and said, “What if we blended the two?”

After several trials, the result was exactly what we hoped for — the best of both wines in one bottle.

It was originally called Black & Blue, but we had to change the name several years ago due to trademark issues with another winery. Since we’d always called Concord “blue” for its color and our Toad mascot already had a black eye and bandages, we renamed it Black & Bruised — and trademarked it.

Today, Black & Bruised makes up nearly 30% of our total sales, and it’s still the wine most people fall in love with first.

Serving Tip

Serve cold — between 35°F and 45°F — to bring out the fresh fruit character and smooth finish.

This wine is delicious to drink as is, or I make an amazing wine jelly using it. It is my favorite jelly flavor so far.
