For Bordeaux blend that can age effortlessly for 10-15 years but won’t break the bank, the Mariner and the BV Tapestry are my top choices.

The nose shows blackberry, black currant, baking spices, autumn leafs, iron, and hint of cocoa. Medium to full body. Excellent balance. Supple fine tannins. More Bordeaux like than the Tapestry IMO.

This was the last of the ten wineries we visited. We were “done”. We bought a few bottles and opened the first a while later and it was SO GOOD! Better than we remembered. This BC Bordeaux (Meritage) blend of Merlot, Cab Sauv, Malbec & Cab Franc. BC was impressive. — 7 years ago

v12. Don’t know why I still had this, but I lucked out. Delicious! Sharp, fragrant “barrel sample” nose. Fresh, rich, deep black currant, blackberry, cassis and plum fruit. Structured, yet velvety smooth whipped chocolate finish. At peak, very well balanced. — a month ago

Bold and spicy with a fresh herbaceous nose, I get hints of celery, tomato leaves and anise. Very dry and tannic with a strong cherry cola palate. Paired wonderfully with a wood fire grilled striploin. — 8 years ago

Revolutionary reveal that’s in its prime. Beautifully lush and yet defined with a wonderful precision of each varietal (39% Cabernet Franc, 26% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, and a healthy 18% of Petit Verdot) gracefully crossing the palate- the 2007 Jefferson Vineyards Meritage is one of my favorite Virginia wines of all time. — 8 years ago
