Tasting - Daniel Cellars Dog Gone Red

Name: Daniel Cellars Dog Gone Red
Variety: Chambourcin, Riesling
Region: Barboursville, Virginia
Country: United States
Year: non-vintage
Price: $3.95

Store Review: The wine is made from Chambourcin grapes and sweetened with Riesling grape juice. This is Cooper's debut wine. Dog Gone Red is a semi-dry red wine, created especially for someone just starting to enjoy red wines. The wine is fruity and soft, with a hint of sweetness. Cooper suggests serving chilled or at room temperature.

My Review: This wine was a truly bizarre one to me, with the smell and the taste not matching up at all. On the nose it had a fairly unpleasant smell of licorice and something almost like dirt. When tasting it, however, it was quite pleasant, sweet and fruity with just a little bit of tartness.
