Tasting - Stanburn Winery Poorhouse

Name: Stanburn Winery Poorhouse
Variety: 100% Chambourcin
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $16

Winery Review: Contains 100% Chambourcin. Fermented in stainless steel and aged in neutral barrels. Black cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and chocolate notes. Nice smooth, fruity palate with a fresh fruit finish. Pairs well with cheesecakes or death by chocolate desserts.


My Review:
I don’t come across the Chambourcin varietal much but this was a pleasant one. Red fruit is quite noticeable on the nose with berries and oak. On the palate there is more red berries specifically raspberries. It was pretty sweet but pleasantly so. I enjoyed it and would get it again.
