Brick red color. Aromas and flavors of blueberry pie, caramelized nuts, and cherry pipe tobacco with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a smooth, stimulating, medium-long finish evoking impressions of craisin-raisin relish, cherry-orange chutney, and nut brittle with silky tannins and moderate oak flavor. A mature, richly layered Amarone-like Chambourcin to sip and evolve with throughout the evening.

Chambourcin

Wine Glass Zinfandel.jpg
Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
Chambourcin is a red French hybrid grape that was developed in the early 1960s. It is planted in several states in the eastern US; the top examples come from Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York; there are also examples made in Australia, where it sometimes is blended with Shiraz.

The grape has black juice, unlike most red grapes whose juice is clear. Thus a Chambourcin wine has deep purple color; flavors are of plum and black cherry. It is best consumed in its youth (two to three years) for its freshness.
