2006 Serenade
Our Serenade is a dry red blend of two French American
Hybrid grapes, Chambourcin and Marechal Foch. I can
pretty much guarantee that it's like nothing you've
tasted before, for I know of no one who blends these
grapes together. Six months in Appalachian (Ohio) Oak
Barrels produced a red wine with an intense black
cherry/tobacco forward and the smoothest oak finish that
I've ever experienced. If you've already matured into a
dry red wine drinker, this may have too much of a fruit
forward for you. Serenade is a great wine for those
transitioning from the off-dry or semisweet wines
to the more robust dry reds.
Wine is Life Review: 65% chambourcin, 35% marechal foch,
this earthy red blend is an interesting ohio wine. this
blend spends 6 months in appalachian (ohio) oak barrels
and has a nose of earth, black cherry, some strawberry
and cedar. on the palate, sexy, earthy strawberry and
cherry flavors come through. the flavor reminded me a
bit of some pinot noirs i have had. light to medium
tannins and more cedar notes in the finish. very smooth,
very intense flavors. i was very intrigued by the taste
of this wine. sells for about $11, so it is budget
friendly. i have a second bottle laying for a later
taste and i am hoping it improves with time in the
cellar, but it will be difficult to improve upon this
really nice red.
2007 Woodwind
Barrel fermented 100% Seyval
Blanc.
Pleasing fruit forward and smooth oaky finish make this
a favorite among our (previous) Chardonnay drinkers
looking for a little more excitement out of their dry
white table wine.
2007
Ovation
Light, refreshing and
spicy, this semi sweet white blend of Traminette and
Cayuga is the perfect Summer Sipper. Tropical hints of
pineapple, kiwi and banana coupled with a crisp finish
make this wine an easy drinker.
2007
Concerto
Our Concerto is 100% Vidal Blanc. Most Ohio wine
makers ferment this grape either very sweet (Ice Wine) or
very dry. Too sweet can mask the unique taste of Vidal,
while too dry produces a wine that is 'grassy'
(herbaceous). Neither pleases me. We ferment our Concerto
semi-sweet at 2% residual sugar, producing a Germanic
(Riesling) style white wine with an uncharacteristic
Peach/Apple/Pear forward. This is a great summer wine, as
it is both refreshing and smooth.
GOLD MEDAL: 2008 American Wine Society Competition
Wine
is Life Review: the first of the harmony hill vineyards
wines i am going to touch on is perfect for the warm
weather months…concerto. this wine is 100% vidal blanc.
this grape is well suited to the colder climates in the
ohio area and is generally used in very sweet ice wines.
in this case, the wine is more like a dry riesling with a
bit of the sauvignon blanc citrus characteristic. nose of
peach and apple. on the palate, crisp and clean with a
slightly sweet taste. flavors of peaches and pears, a
crisp apple flavor and a slightly acid finish that lingers
on the tongue. very food friendly wine that will go with
all your summer time fare. priced at $11 a bottle, this
white is worth every penny.
2007 Chamber
Suite
Chamber Suite is a blend of Chambourcin and Marechal Foch.
Aged in stainless steel to preserve its soft black cherry
forward and gentle tone, it gathers power on the finish
with just the right balance of residual sugar and acid. A
natural with ribs.
