About This Wine

This dry red wine is blended from some of Virginia's finest grape varieties, Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Bursting with deep flavors and aromas of blackberry, blueberry, black cherry, and plum, Liberty features a long finish with hints of toast and spice. This sumptuous wine is a worthy tribute to Liberty.

Tasting Attributes

Aroma: Blackberry, blueberry, cherry, plum. Palate: Same as aroma. Finish: Long, toast, spice. Blend of Chambourcin, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot.
My notes: The description honestly seemed like something I would really like so I decided to try it. The smell was kind of farmy or hay. Had a mix of clay and fruit smell. There was a little orange, peach and slight hint of berries. Not a bad smell but very different. It was very dry but very smooth. It had a great mouth feel. There was a cheddar cheese taste which was very intriguing. Tasted like you have just opened up one of those fruit and cheese trays. Honestly I kind of liked this, very different but good.
