Dusty garnet color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry, Earl Grey black tea, and mild cocoa nibs with a velvety, vibrant, dryish medium body and a tingling, interesting, medium-length finish imparting overtones of black cherry preserves, blackberry, and semi bitter chocolate with a suggestion of oak flavor. A must have for those that like red wines with a touch of sugar and a slight chill.

Chambourcin

Wine Glass Zinfandel.jpg
Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
Chambourcin is a red French hybrid grape that was developed in the early 1960s. It is planted in several states in the eastern US; the top examples come from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York; there are also examples made in Australia, where it sometimes is blended with Shiraz.

The grape has black juice, unlike most red grapes whose juice is clear. Thus a Chambourcin wine has deep purple color; flavors are of plum and black cherry. It is best consumed in its youth (two to three years) for its freshness.
