Such an impressive CF from likely a blend of two vineyard sites. Plenty of vibrancy and structure. 12 yrs of aging - could have gone a couple more… felt very much in the sweet spot — 9 days ago

2012 was a classic and tight vintage in Virginia… This blend does feature a lead of cab sauv at 38% with CF AT 31% - Merlot singing background at 25% — 8 months ago

Class! A 6.5yr old 375ml micro lot barrel from the esteemed vineyard near Winchester. Balanced elements of oak and cran-raspberry reduction. Just to touch a Pierazines leading to some green pepper & faint tar notes on the nose and finished palate. Nevertheless, elegant. — 3 years ago

Wonderfully delicious four variety state blend from the foothills of the Blue Ridge. Exquisite viticulture - careful treatment in the wine room. Vibrant and energetic. Elegant and pure class. Red fruits and structure. — a month ago

Held up beautifully for 7+ years from harvest. Luscious cream texture and vanilla Brulé notes. Simple and subtle, even though the acidity has lost some vibrancy, still compatible with creamy chicken Alfredo! — a year ago

Peaches, slate, flowers, and honey. Lively. I think some of the negative reviews are due to drinking this too old. — 4 years ago

Wow -15 years of aging and this beauty has concentration that would make Washington State growers proud!! while it may be a couple years past its peak, there was still ample acidity to fight through the food we paired it with. But I’ve got to say, this is the first time a Virginia. Syrah has ever tasted like it’s from Washington State. Hats off to you, Jim Dolphin ;) — 2 months ago
