"DATE: 08-21-09 Appearance: Ruby.
Nose: Cherry berry with light spicy oak and some attractive earthy notes.
Palate: Dry with good acidity, midweight plus. Palate follows the nose, adding raspberry and pepper to the dusty tannins on the midpalate. Finish is very good, long, clean and dry.
Conclusions: Excellent example of a red hybrid producing an excellent wine in a lean year. This could go eight or nine years, and is best at this youthful stage with red meats or dishes with tomato / acid. Excellent potential here for an extremely interesting wine about 2012." lfw
FROM THE PRODUCERS:"Our 2008 organic Chambourcin features a beautiful, crimson colour with violet edges. An intense wine that combines generous, lush fruit flavours like juicy wild berry, black cherry and currant with light, natural tannins. Soft and easy to drink on the patio, this fruity wine pairs well with BBQ fare, pizzas, tomato based dishes and a variety of cheeses. The perfect wine for a picnic.
