Sakonnet Vineyards Rhode Island Red

Two summers ago Meg and I took a trip out to Little Compton for the RI wine festival and it was amazing.  Once a year all the vineyards on the trail come together as well as local food vendors and for about 30 dollars you can eat and drink all you want!  That year Sakonnet Vineyards was the host and let me tell you it was well worth the drive.  

Here is my take on the RI Red!  
  • Appearance: This wine was a distinctive dark ruby with a shade of plum to it.
  • Smell: Dark berry's like blackberry and a hint of blueberry, plum, and raspberry
  • Taste: Up front it's sweet, blackberry and plum really come through in the finish
  • Feel:  Very smooth and silky
  • Overall:  Loved this wine, it was on the sweet side but it paired well with the gorgonzola flank steak pinwheels we made, the contrast of sweet and salty was great.  I would definitely recommend this wine and if you have the time please take a drive out to their vineyard in Little Compton RI they have an amazing setup.
