Tasting- Chateau Morrisette Sweet Mountain Apple

Region: Blue Ridge Highlands, Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010

Winery review: Our Apple Wine is made from crisp and juicy Virginia apples. Bursting with the vibrant fruitiness of just-picked apples, this wine is sweet and smooth, light bodied, with a clean crisp finish. Aroma: Fresh apples. Palate: Sweet, smooth, apple Finish: Crisp, refreshing. 100% Virginia apples. Serve chilled.

My review: The nose smells of granny smith apples, it has sour hints but is still sweet. The primary taste is of red apples, it lacks the sourness of the granny smiths. The mid pallet is light and fruity. The finish is reminiscent of peanut butter. In fact, the more I drank this wine, the more peanut butter I tasted. I absolutely loved it! I tried this wine without food.
