Produced "primarily from 25 year old vines" and aged in oak barrels, the Chambourcin from Blumenhof winery is a great medium-bodied dry red. I tasted the 2009 vintage at Laumeier Sculpture Park on Mother's Day. I was struck by the rich berry tones and smooth finish. I thoroughly enjoyed my glass of Blumenhof's Chambourcin as I perused the wonderful art at Laumeier.
Even though this wine is fairly young, it received a 2010 silver medal from the American Wine Society. Blumenhof Winery can be found in Dutzow, MO, not very far west of Augusta.
