Wine of the Week - Heritage Wine Cellars Concord

On my recent holiday trip to Northwest Pennsylvania, I took the opportunity to delve into a new wine region. For the next three weeks, I'm going to profile selections from the Heritage Wine Cellars. My general perception of this wine region is that they produce very sweet varieties. Next time I have a chance, I'll have to explore their dry wines.

Now, the first of the three I'm profiling: Concord.


The winemaker describes the taste as sweet, full-bodied fruit flavor. It's 12% alcohol, and best served chilled.

The color is a light, translucent red. Very sweet up front, with a tart finish. It has a very obvious sweetness, enjoyable but not complex.
