North Carolina Wine TV Review: Duplin’s Bald Head Red is a North Carolina wine made from Pink Catawba grapes, which give it a very different flavor compared to traditional muscadine wines. The Catawba grapes that go int this wine are grown in Western North Carolina, on the nose this wine smells of powdered sugar, pine, flowers and mountain woods. This is a well balanced wine that with a little thicker weight on the mouth feel. Lots of fruit and earth in this wine.
My Review: This Wine sums up my last weekend as I ventured to Bald Head Island, NC in order to watch and celebrate my sister getting engaged (congrats Andy and Amanda!). We stocked up for the way there and naturally when I saw this I had to get it. I have never tried or heard of any North Carolina wines so this was going to be good. However, this was the last wine I drank during the weekend and by this time felt pretty drunk and not feeling any wines, so I apologize for the limited review. The smell to me was only slightly earthy, and also smelled like sweet red cherries. I kind of expected it to be sweet since it said it on the bottle, but didn't expect it to be as sweet as it was. It wasn't bad, but after drinking Chardonnay the entire afternoon prior (see Black Swan) I was not too into it, but after reading other reviews I will definitely have to revisit this guy. The taste followed on sweet cherry flavors and was really pleasant thinking back now, I just wish I had not been so wine-ed out...
