“Chambourcin 2005”
Chambourcin is a grape of unknown origin that has been widely planted in France, the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and to a lesser extent in Australia. Here in New Jersey, this variety has found ideal conditions to produce an enticing medium to full bodied red wine. Our 2005 Chambourcin is a good example of this grape's potential in our New Jersey vineyards. It exhibits strawberry and Bing cherry nuances in the perfumed aroma and rich flavors. Aging in small oak barrels gives this wine attractive overtones of mocha, vanilla and roasted nuts. Serve with full flavored dishes; we especially like it with grilled beef or roasted lamb.
