Tasting- "Chateau Morrisette Chambourcin"


Name: Chambourcin
Variety: Chambourcin
Region: Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $15.99
Critic Review: "Aromas of plums and berries lift from this dark violet wine, augmented by gentle notes of black tea.  Tasting quickly fills the mouth with rich fruitiness, suggesting cherries and blueberries.  Silk and soft, this medium to full bodied wine features a fruity and exceptionally long finish, revealing glimmers of black pepper. Chambourcin is an exceptionally smooth and food-friendly wine.  Enjoy it with grilled meats, sausages, roasted poultry, and dishes with mushrooms."
Personal Review: This wine had an oaky flavor and the wine was stored in an oak barrel for 2 months.  I tasted a cranberry flavor in this wine.  I thought that this wine was very similar to the Pinot Noir.
With/Without Food: I did not try this wine with food.
