Tasting - Childress Vineyards Three Red Table Wine

Variety: 47% Cabernet Franc, 39% Merlot, and 14% Malbec
Region: Yadkin Valley, North Carolina

Winery Review: Three Red is a smooth blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec with a slightly sweet finish. Vibrant aromas of raspberry and violets dominate the nose while the finish displays soft, lush tannins and a silky mouth feel. Three Red is the perfect wine before dinner, or with your favorite grilled meats and pasta dishes featuring a marinara sauce.

My Review: What a marvelous wine! The color is medium red to red-orange. I could see through it a bit. The smell was fruity mainly consisting of raspberries and red fruit. The taste was of raspberries and cherries with a bit of an oaky component. There are some tannins there which just work great with this wine and its sweetness. It has a solid body and is silky on the palate. The finish is smooth and is of medium length. This wine is middle ground, not too sweet and not too dry. I absolutely love this wine and will come back for more!
