A cognac esk rum delectable — 4 years ago
Powerful fruitiness. Jolly rancher esk. Tight and zippy. Certainly smells like commercial yeast but does right by it. Creaminess rounds things out. — 4 years ago
Deepburgendy color. Musty with citrus notes on the nose, followed by dark fruit on the mid taste and chocolate on the finish. Solid for the price point. — 5 years ago
This is one of those top 20 Bargain VA wines, at $17 at Wegmans. N/M is old of the older operations in the state and they have a lot of Chardonnay planted. Their micro-climate yields tighter acidity coupled with the granite based soils makes for northern Burgundian-esk chards. The 3 pillars of Chard-Balance: FreshFruit, energized acid, and texture. It’s all here, just in a budget, non-reserve way. Still, better than most at twice the price. Great white for food throughout the winter months. Toasty caramelized Apple notes are to the point - finish is dominated by the barrel attributes. No worries, cream-based anything :) — 3 years ago
Sooo delightful! This vintage was a blend of three lots… Combined they made a nuanced Northern Italian/burgundy-esk Franc that really speaks to Mark’s skill and the potential of classic vintages (weather) in VA. When it’s not too hot, the acids can stay in balance. This can lead to producing real aromaticly complex Francs. To put in context, we pair this with beautifully prepared salmon. Glad I still have one more bottle! — 4 years ago
Excellent full body - high acid but the oxy-esk fruit nose makes it quite interesting! — 4 years ago
Burgundy-esk nose with hay and honey dry tall grass. 100% mall. soft and yet long spicy oak finish. — 4 years ago
A toast to the last night in Fiji. A wonderful, richer styled Pinot Gris. A citrus and honeyed nose with a touch of peach leads to a rich palate of baked apple, peach, honey and a touch of oak balanced by bright acidity, wet stone and possibly a touch of RS. The finish is long a clean. A wonderful sipper. — 4 years ago
One of my favourite wines! It's been doing reall well for it's age and could even go a year or two more. Amazingly intense botes of stonefruit with manuka honey! I'm really proud of these grapes! — 4 years ago

Love this - oxidation and VA and battle axes - this is a fun wine. Perfect for dessert when sweet isn’t your thing. So fino-sherry esk! Need to find more — 3 years ago
