Chateau Morrisette Sweet Mountain Laurel

Name- Chateau Morrisette Sweet Mountain Laurel

Variety- Native American grape blend

Country- United States

Region- Virginia

Year- N/A

Price- $10.99

Winemaker notes- A unique and refreshingly sweet dessert style wine made from native American grape varieties. Firm acidity balances the sweetness, producing a crisp finish with aromas of freshly picked grapes. Pour over fresh berries and sponge cake or blend with vanilla ice cream and fruit for a creamy dessert smoothie.

My review- I thought it was odd that we tried this wine towards the end of our tasting, so I knew my palate was going to be off a little bit. The initial nose consisted of berries and of outdoor grass trimmings (weird right?). The taste was pretty tart with a smooth after taste. I enjoyed the wine, and for the price of $10.99 it is definitely a wine to try.
