Beliveau Estate Winery Acapella

Name: Beliveau Estate Winery Acapella
Variety: Landot Noir
Region:West Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $16

Winery review: A Capella is 100 % Landot Noir, a French-American hybrid known for wonderful fruit-forward arromatics and a rich color. A Capella delivers this with blousy Summer fruits - blueberries, strawberries, and goose berries. Deceptively sweet-smelling, it is a Semi-sweet wine with medium body. While A Capella is a great sipping wine warm or chilled, it pairs well with mushrooms, pork, chicken marsala, blueberry cobbler, sundried tomatoes, feta cheese, and vanilla ice cream.

My review: The aromas of the wine are very sweet with light berry hints. However, the taste is less sweet, with strong flavors of berry.  I picked up on raspberry and strawberry flavors in the wine.  It was a good wine and enjoyable.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
