Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of candied violets, blue raspberry powder, and hoisan and plum sauce with a round, bright, dry medium body and a tingling, long finish revealing elements of plum sauce, blue raspberry lemonade powder, and candied violets with well-integrated tannins and no oak flavor. A bold purple Chambourcin with black fruit and floral characteristics.

Chambourcin

Chambourcin is a red French hybrid grape that was developed in the early 1960s. It is planted in several states in the eastern US; the top examples come from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York; there are also examples made in Australia, where it sometimes is blended with Shiraz.

The grape has black juice, unlike most red grapes whose juice is clear. Thus a Chambourcin wine has deep purple color; flavors are of plum and black cherry. It is best consumed in its youth (two to three years) for its freshness.
