I enjoyed this one more than I was expecting. It has a rich summer berry aroma and flavour, with a hint of anise. I was also getting these red wine notes which were very pleasant – and I don’t usually like/drink wine.
What stood out, however, was the texture. It’s soooo juicy. With wine and slightly tart berries you’d expect it to be drying… but it’s the opposite. It bathes my mouth in moisture with every sip and leaves me feeling very refreshed.
The aftertaste lingers for quite a while, getting slightly sweeter as time passes.
Can’t say I detected any elderberry or echinacea though. You could say the flavour was a little generic, but it’s definitely not bland.

Love the review photo. I’ve always pronounced it EK-eh-nay-shuh. My Mema swore by elderberries for flu prevention, so this definitely sounds like a bug-busting combination!
gmathis Thank you! Ahahaha, I’ve been saying “eh-chin-ay-shuh” in my head all this time :) it’s good to know how it should be pronounced!
I’ve been pronouncing it eh-chin-ay-see-a in my head!
