Tasting - Chateau Morrisette Blackberry Wine



Name: Chateau Morrisette
Variety: Orchard Series, Blackberry
Region: Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: A gift (listed at $12/bottle)
Review: "Imagine, thick and dark blackberry pie with vibrant aromas that fill the glass to the brim. Literally no different than having a mouthful of ripe blackberries right from the basket." - Winemaker Notes, 2015

My Review: Delightfully, although not painfully, sweet with flavors of apple and, of course, blackberry. I'm usually turned off by fruit (non-grape) wines because of their intense sweetness but the tartness of the blackberry helped greatly to balance out the flavors... it's essentially glorified fruit juice (but not in a bad way.) I paired it with the sunniest winter day we had, my heat turned up to high, and a nice movie.
