Pleasant Ridge

Pleasant Ridge Wine Details
Price:

Description: A dark blue/black wine made with the Corot Noir grapes grown in our Villa Marie Vineyard in Maryville. Fruity taste of blackberry, blueberry, and other natural flavors.

Varietal Definition
Corot Noir:
Corot noir is the result of a cross between hybrids Seyve Villard 18-307 and Steuben in 1970. It ripens mid-season to late-season, and according to Reisch, its wines "are free of the hybrid aromas typical of many other red hybrid grapes, and can be used for varietal wine production or for blending. The distinctive red wine has a deep red color and attractive berry and cherry fruit aromas."
