Tasting- Chateau Morrisette Our Dog Blue


Name- Chateau Morrisette Our Dog Blue
Variety- Riesling-Traminette Blend
Region- Virginia
Country- United States
Year- 2011
Price- $10.99
Shop Review- This popular white wine is a semi-sweet Riesling-Traminette blend, using Vidal Blanc for added depth. Aromas of melons, citrus fruits, apricots, and delicate flowers highlight the soft finish of this soothing wine. Serve chilled with fruits and cheeses, fish, or spicy foods.

Upon first observing the pouring of this wine, the color was very familiar in that it looked very similar to most rieslings that I have had in the past. It is a light gold clear color, with not much to it, not a bad looking wine by any means, but not much to it. Upon first smell it had large hints of citrus flavors and other fruit flavors, but the other fruits were not quite as outgoing as the citrus was. The bouquet was very well done, and very diverse such that it overall was a very good nose. The first taste was very fruity, and instantly reminded me of all the rieslings I have had in the past. and was honestly slightly subpar to others that I have had in the past. Overall this was a great wine, but nothing special.

I did not have food with this wine.
