Tasting-Galena Creek Blackberry

This particular wine was from the West Wind Farm Vineyard and Winery in Max Meadows, Va.  It is a Pinot Gris.  A bottle of this wine sells for $17.00, a glass $6, and a case is $183.60.  I had the 2012 version of this wine, but bought a glass so I did not get a chance to take a picture of the bottle. It looked just like this, but with a 2012 on it. This was a very pleasant tasting wine that was light and fruity with hints of sugary endings.  The winery describes this wine as a wine with notes of apricot and stone fruit and that it has a hint of residual sugar that balances the acidity pleasantly and increases its appeal to most any palate.  Truly even a beginner could drink this wine because it is not too strong and has a very nice balance of acidity and sweetness.  I would highly recommend this wine to most anyone, especially entry level wine drinkers.
