Heritage
Chambourcin
Virginia
2011
$19.99
Wine review: The wine was brightened with a bit of fresh Chambourcin, while the structure was augmented with the addition of Tannat. Entrancing aromas of plum and black cherry presage the intensely fruity entry, layered with the character of black tea, baking spices, vanilla and cocoa. The texture of this deep ruby colored full-bodied wine is silky and emollient; lingering aromas will persist on the palate. Like all Port-style wines, heritage is fortified and finished sweet, and pairs well with chocolate.
My review: Dark purple or dark cherry color. Fruity flavors on the nose, such as black cherry, light sweetness, and plum. It was medium/semi dry on the mid palate, and hint of caramel and vanilla was coming through. Well balanced fruit and tannin components with sweet flavor finish. It was hot and full body wine with spicy kick at the end. smooth and medium-long finish. It will go well with some greasy meat dishes, and pasta with thick cream sauce.
