Name: Fincastle Rose
Variety: Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $13
Winery Review: Refreshing, semi-sweet blend of Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc crafted for well-balanced acidity with cherry and strawberry notes. Chambourcin produces a deep-colored wine with a full aromatic flavor, and no unpleasant hybrid flavors. It can be made into a dry style or one with a moderate residual sugar level, giving it a pleasant but not overbearing sweetness. Vidal Blanc produces a fruity wine due to its high acidity and is particularly suited to sweeter, dessert wines. The pairing of Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc complement each other perfectly.

My Review: Fincastle does uncommon grapes very well and this is another one. It is very aromatic with strawberries and cherries on the nose. The taste was just a bit sweet which is nice. More strawberries and cherries made their way onto my palate with just a hint of citrus. It was an enjoyable wine and something I wouldn’t mind having again.
