Serenade

Serenade Wine Details
Price: $9.95 per bottle

Description: Our Serenade is a dry red blend of two French American Hybrid grapes, Chambourcin and Marechal Foch. I can pretty much guarantee that it's like nothing you've tasted before. Six months in Appalachian (Ohio) Oak Barrels produced a red wine with an intense black cherry/tobacco forward and the smoothest oak finish that I've ever experienced. If you've already matured into a dry red wine drinker, this may have too much of a cherry fruit forward for you. Serenade is a great wine for those transitioning from the off-dry or semisweet wines to the more robust dry reds.

Varietal Definition
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.
Marechal Foch:
A french-american hybrid grape, with french Alsace Gamay origins, noted for producing deeply colored and strongly varietal wines considered by some to have a "Burgundian" character. Also known under the name Foch.
