Leelanau Cellars Blueberry
Country of origin: USA
Appellation: Michigan
Cost: $4 at Miejer in Ann Arbor, MI
Stats: 100% blueberry, 12% ABV, 2% residual sugar
Appearance: Light red, clear and transparent
Aroma: Blueberries and citrus
Taste: Weak and insipid. Light blueberry taste is overwhelmed by the cloyingly sweetness.
My wife and I each took one sip and dumped the rest down the drain. Leelanau Cellars' motto is "A Taste of Northern Michigan". One of Michigan's oldest wineries and perched about half-way up the Leelanau Penninsula north of Traverse City, they should have first hand knowledge. However, from personal experience, I can honestly say that Northern Michigan can taste a LOT better than this. Please don't judge Michigan wines in general or blueberry wines in particular by this product. Blueberry wines can be made in a wide variety of styles, but this is just too overwhelmingly sweet to appreciate any of the blueberry character.
