The final wine provided to us on our tasting was Chateau Morrisette's Highlander Blush, a take on their Blushing Dog wine created specifically for Radford University. I was not able to catch the year this Virginia wine was harvested, it was our only wine from the United States we tried that night. The wine is a combination of Vidal Blanc, Reisling, and a touch of Chambourcin. With tasting notes offering flowers and fruit, this is definitely a sweet, summer wine. After experiencing a line of bitter and dry wines, this wine seemed almost too sweet; candy sweet. Both the smell and the taste seemed overly sugary, with that almost being the main taste. I did not try this wine with food, though I'm sure I'd like this blush pink wine with cheeses or other light foods. An average price for this wine ran around $10.99.
