Chambourcin 2002 Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: A Gold Medal winner, our Chambourcin is a medium bodied red wine, rich in color with intense black cherry accents. It is aged with oak chips for 9 months and is Nouveau style (freshly bottled young) to retain its fruity flavor. A splash of Cab Franc is added to smooth the finish.

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.
