Winery review of wine: Ripe Niagara grape flavors with a sweet, crisp, and satisfying finish
Grape varietal characteristics: Created from the Concord grape variety in Niagara County NY. Grown primarily in the US. Light and "grapey" with a foxy aroma. Can be paired with clams, Waldorf salad, and mild cheeses like gouda.
My observations: pale yellow hue
Aromatic observation: fruit; primary aroma is a smell similar to that of white cranberry, with a slightly sour aroma. Tertiary Aroma: Floral, Rose
Taste observation: very sweet, lower acidity, strong grape flavor- taste's very similar to a welch's white grape juice, no tannins, no warming/hot sensation in throat (relatively lower alcohol percentage at 10.5% and 5.2% residual sugar) medium-bodied, wine ends on a slightly sweet-bitter flavor, short finish length, low complexity- simple- primary flavor is grape juice
My review: I really enjoyed the flavor of this wine, and found that I didn't enjoy the aroma as much as the taste. This was a very sweet wine, and when I commented that it tasted similar to Welch's grape juice, one of the employees at the winery told me it's made from the same grape variety. It went down smoothly, and the after taste was pleasant but short lived. I found it very easy to drink, and to be a nice, light, sweet white wine. I would get it again.
