2006 Chambourcin

Chambourcin is a French-American hybrid grape with deep blue/black skins that produces a lighter bodied wine with a distinctive vibrant purple color. The generous fruit flavors of black cherry and cranberry are the result of an early bottling after being lightly aged in American and French oak. The aromas fill the senses with berries, nutmeg, and oak. A small amount of Merlot was artfully blended in to provide added complexity. This red would be nice with pork, turkey, or smoked salmon.
