Williamsburg Winery Review: This is very easy dinking fruit forward style wine. The fruit is characterized with mostly red fruits such as cherry, strawberry, raspberry and cranberry. There are also some hints of green apple, and pineapple. Just below the fruit nuances is a soft spice character with a touch of molasses
and soy. The tannins are very clean and smooth which helps promote the soft fruit forward style wine. The wine has a clean, soft, fruit feel with just a hint of sweetness that rounds out the overall feel of the wine. This is a wonderful everyday wine that can be enjoyed with lots of different foods.

My Review: THIS IS A LIVE REVIEW! I am drinking this now, look out for 4 more this week, because its spring break and the only fun thing to do in Lynchburg is drink with my mom and aunt! I found a bottle of Limited edition Williamsburg wine my mom bought at some point and knowing she hates red wine I popped that bottle! So lemme smell it....... It smells really fruity, light red berries and maybe a hint of something darker, probably coming from the cranberries. The smell is really rich and tastes really straightforward like a mixed berry fruit punch, but then it dries out into a dry finish that is refreshing, but already a glass in I'm getting sick of it. I can't love this wine, but I'm about to eat it with skirt steak and lobster ravioli so this can only get better!
