Chardonnay (2013) – Trump Winery

I recently discovered vegan friendly wines from a local winery, Trump Winery located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The 2013 Chardonnay from Trump Winery is a crisp, well-balanced wine with a creamy texture. The wine is both aromatic and youthful. This Chardonnay evokes citrus aromas resembling zesty lemon, green apple, honeysuckle, vanilla, melon and grass. At the end of the sip, this Chardonnay will leave a smooth finish with hints of vanilla and citrus. Until the next bottle as I sip this one away!

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon from Rombauer Vineyards is a dark and slightly hazed purplish wine. The wine showed a noticeable and intricate formation of legs around my glass, so yes it does have legs. It has a moderate aromas, and noticeable spicy tones. The wine has aromas of blackcurrant, red pepper, blackberries, blueberries, hints of vanilla, subtle aromas of dark leafed tobacco, and very smoky oak tones. Did I say it has spicy tones? This is a balanced and spicy delicious wine! Yum!!!

Not all wines are vegan friendly?

While wine is made from fermented grapes or other fruits, some wines are not vegan because of the clarification and stabilization process, specifically the fining agents used in the process.
