Tasting - Vincent’s Vineyard Ambrosia

Name: Vincent’s Vineyard Ambrosia
Variety: Steuben
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $14

Winery Review: Made from the Steuben Grape, this crisp sweet red wine with hints of honey and has a sweet and spicy flavor. Makes a great porch or hot tub wine.  This wine is appropriately named because in ancient Greek mythology, Ambrosia was known as a food or drink of the Greek gods.


My Review:
I think this was my favorite wine from Vincent’s Vineyard. The nose was pungent with hints of cherry, raspberries and honey. The taste was similar but included a subtle spice component. It was also pretty sweet. It was very smooth and the sweetness really masks any alcohol taste. This is a great wine to pair with dessert or if you just want something sweet.
