Tasting- Chateau Morrisette Blackberry

Name: Chateau Morrisette Blackberry
Variety: Blackberries, not grapes!
Region: Blue Ridge Highlands, Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $9

Winery review: Sweet and smooth, our Blackberry Wine is packed with the vibrant fruitiness of succulent, sun drenched berries. Aroma: Dark berries Palate: Sweet, smooth, vibrant, sun-drenched berries. Finish: Smooth, blackberry.


My review: The nose was sweet with a definite blackberry scent. The body was actually lighter than I expected since the scent seemed so heavy. The finish was smooth. It was obvious that the wine did not go through extensive filtering. There was a fair amount of precipitate at the bottom of the bottle. I tried this wine without food.
