Tasting - Rapidan River Raspberry

Name:  Rapidan River Raspberry
Variety:  Riesling, Merlot, and Raspberry juice.
Region:  Virginia
Country:  USA
Year:  2012
Price:  $12.99

Winery Review:  This sweet Rose wine is composed of Riesling and a touch of Merlot blended with Natural Raspberry Juice.
The Riesling and Merlot were fermented separately and blended together during the spring following harvest.  This wine was naturally sweetened and then blended with the Raspberry Juice just prior to bottling.

My Review:  This wine was very pink in the glass.  It was very light and fruity on the palate.  To me this wine smelled more of strawberries than of raspberries.  It tasted of strawberries and raspberries as well.  It was very sweet, probably too sweet for my tastes.
