2020 Narmada Reflection

Dry Chambourcin

Winery Notes

The driest of our three Chambourcins, Reflection is rich and full-bodied showing good color, full flavor, and a smooth finish. Notes of black cherry and plum dance on the palate.

Pair with roast turkey with dressing, Tuscan steak with tomato-balsamic-shallot relish, manicotti with roasted tomato-garlic sauce.

 

Market Tasting Panel Review

The 2020 Narmada Reflection Dry Chambourcin is a little marvel of Virginia terroir that proves Chambourcin can do elegance and depth while keeping things lively. This is the driest of Narmada’s Chambourcin lineup, and it shows off with a confident stride of black cherry and dark plum notes that practically waltz on your palate. The color is beautifully deep, hinting at the richness to come. But let’s talk about that finish—smooth as silk, leaving you with just the right amount of intrigue for another sip. 

For food pairings, Reflection shines next to a juicy roast turkey with dressing, where those fruit notes meld with the savory herbs, and the acidity keeps the whole affair refreshing. It also loves a classic Tuscan steak topped with a tomato-balsamic-shallot relish—the wine’s dark fruit complements the relish, and the acidity cuts right through the richness of the meat. Feeling pasta? This Chambourcin is also fantastic with manicotti smothered in a roasted tomato-garlic sauce, where its bold, full-bodied profile holds its own against all that cheesy goodness. 

In short, the Reflection is like that friend who’s sophisticated yet knows how to let loose. It’s a red with serious personality but easy charm—a perfect addition to the table for anyone ready to take Virginia reds a little more seriously!
