Chambourcin with a fine blend of Merlot, Cab Franc, Syrah and Malbec. Slightly off dry, very fully developed and highly quaffable. Excellent with a wide variety of foods. (Barrel Oak Winery)
This wine had a nice nose to it. It was rich and full bodied with little heat and a slight tannic component to it. There was a nice rich deep red fruit component which I think was cherry. Also, thrown in there was a strange spice mixture and when I asked about it was told that that came from the Chambourcin grape. It coated your mouth from start to finish and wasn't overly tannic. There was a little heat on the end but nothing overwhelming and the red fruit came though nicely in the beginning and carried through towards the finish.
