Wine Review: This was a pleasant dark red kitchen sink blended red wine. It opens with a mild smoky bouquet with a hint of oak. On the palate, this medium bodied wine displays light blackberry flavors. It is smooth and very easy to drink. If you are looking for a really good inexpensive burger wine, look no further. The finish is dry and very pleasant. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Hosmer Estate Red is a blend of Vinifera and French-American hybrid grape varieties including DeChaunac, Merlot, and a touch of Chardonnay to soften the mouth feel. Sweet vanilla, coupled with blackberries and earthy notes, mingle in the aroma of this smooth, dry, full-bodied red. Barrel aging adds complexity and just a hint of oak, complimenting the bright berry tones without overwhelming the fruit. This wine was formerly named House Red.
