Brown brick red color. Aromas and flavors of dark chocolate covered caramel, licorice root, coffee beans in rooibos tea, and chocolate covered berries with a velvety, lively, dry light-to-medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish that shows notes of chocolate covered sour cherries, coffee and leather, blackberries, and chocolate covered mushrooms. A nice red for grilling out meats with fruit in the BBQ sauce; what you expect and desire from Chambourcin.

Chambourcin

Wine Glass Zinfandel.jpg
Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
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.
