About the Wine: The Warwick Valley Winery sits in the Black Dirt region of upstate New York. The area is so named because it was once the site of a glacial lake and eons of sediment deposits turned the soil completely black. It is one of the richest farm areas in the Northeast and maybe the country. So how does their blended, non vintage wine taste?
About THIS Wine: It is ruby red in the glass with a pink rim. The nose is not as a bright as I expected, though red fruit notes are definitely present along with an undercurrent of fig. The palate is fruit forward and abrupt. The flavor is pleasant but it is sharper than I expected for such a mild nose. A very subtle raspberyy finish lingers.
Drinking This Wine: This is a barbecue wine. Drink it young and maybe slightly chilled.
Overall Impression: I can't say I am impressed but neither am I disappointed. This wine is reasonable for the price.
