Cedar Ridge Red

Cedar Ridge Red Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Lightly oaked, deep ruby in color and full- bodied. The blend of our St. Vincent and Chambourcin grapes creates a smooth, velvety mouth feel with aromas and flavors that suggest blackberries and plum.

Varietal Definition
Vincent:
This variety has high acidity, when fermented it produces a well-balanced dry red table wine. The wine has a deep blue-red color when young, but when aged the blue pigment is deposited & the wine becomes quite stable.
Chambourcin:
A french-american hybrid used to make red wines with fruity flavors and some herbaceousness. Grown in the cooler regions of Eastern U.S. and Canada. Decreasing acreages also found in Europe; due to stringent European Union rules these varieties cannot be blended with traditional varieties.
