Flying Fox
Monticello Red Blend 2016
Hope you are well Brian! You know that flying fox is essentially a 2nd label for Veritas. They have managed ops for a long time and recently to full control. Good terroir! So I gotta ask: do you cellar any bottles...or do you get tempted and pop the cork?
@Ron from VA I’m a patient one on those that need time. I saved some 2007 Bordeaux’s until 2017 once and glad I did. Some wines taste best with age. This one had a flawed cork and yes, did hear Veritas & Flying Fox are one in same (latter is the children’s winery).

An amazingly lovely wine. Lime and fresh cut grass on the nose. Low citrus on palette with lemongrass balanced with minerality. — 2 months ago

@Ron from VA oh well that’s embarrassing! Sorry I thought you were someone I knew that is big in the VA wine scene. That being said, I’d be happy to reach out to Chris and Lizzy about playing there. Do you know their email(s)? Thanks so much, and sorry for the misunderstanding.
Ahh, no worries bro! Hope we can meet sometime and enjoy some stories and top-shelf wine :) Here is the site: http://www.mountfair.com & chris@mountfair.com I have know these folks since 2014 - they embodied much of what you love about Cville!
@Ron from VA sorry for the delay, haven’t checked in on here lately. Thanks for the contact, I will reach out! Prepping for Florence here. Hopefully the wineries have harvested all their grapes!

Decent blend for a table red. Drank it too early because the cork was starting to come off on its own :/ — 10 days ago
