Arrington Vineyards Raspberry Wine

I recently visited Arrington Vineyards for the first time and was able to sample a few of the wines that I have been hearing about.  I enjoyed quite a few of them, but came away with a definite favorite when I tried the Raspberry Wine.  It is considered a dessert wine and I love a glass paired with a little bit of dark chocolate.


Wine Profile:

Vintage: 2009

Varietal: Raspberries

Appellation: American

Bottling Date: August 13th, 2010

Residual Sugar: 12.5% (Very Sweet)

Alcohol %: 10%

Tasting Notes: Fresh and sweet aromas of red raspberry juice lead into a rich, sweet red raspberry explosion of flavor; the finish goes forever and the sweetness is balanced by the natural tartness of the raspberries.

Awards: Not yet entered into competition.

Winemaker Notes: Raspberry juice was fermented cold and quickly, and sweetened with Raspberry syrup

Food Pairing: Chocolate desserts, can be used in mixed drinks such as Chocolate Raspberry Martinis.

I wasn't sure if I was going to make it to the wine tasting, but planned to come by your parent's house later.
