Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
My second best blend ever! I took a very bold, tannic Zinfandel, a complex Syrah, a soft and supple Chambourcin, and a fruit forward Vignoles and carefully blended them together to create this dynamic red. Vignoles is a white, but did you know most of your expensive Chianti''''s from Italy have a white blended into them?

Varietal Definition
Vignole:
Commonly grown in the cooler regions of North America, this french-american hybrid used for making white dry, late-harvest and ice-wines has its origins in the Chardonnay grape. Currently very popular as a dessert wine because of its restrained fruitiness and good balance. Same as Ravat.
|
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
