On the nose, red berries, herbs, spice, and cedar. It was finely balanced on the palate, with flavors of strawberry and slight peppery notes. This wine showed beautiful structure leading to silky tannins on the finish but with enough fruit to keep it pleasant, focused and fresh. Longest tasting note for me. Joyful — 2 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Consistent throughout. This was my first experience with the wines of Glen Manor and I was quite impressed. The St. Ruth certainly has some Bordeaux sensibilities. This vintage leads with Merlot as the predominate variety; Cabernet Franc pretty much covering the remaining balance with a little Petit Verdot for good measure. Predominately dark fruited with plums, tobacco, earth, leather, coffee and some baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium(+?) acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is medium; soft and comforting. This is a serious wine from Virginia. That being said, I get the sense that these need some time in the cellar to be truly appreciated. Drinking well now but will drink well for another 5-10 years.

Beautiful balance of mouthfeel with terroir character. A touch of Provence with a generous volume of oily/silk roundness! Beautiful to pair with summer cuisine!! — 2 years ago

Dry petit manseng. Tropical fruit and honey, with enough acid to cut it ten years later. Perfect with szechuan. — 9 months ago

So not much has changed in 3 yrs since first trying this in the tasting room. The profile is lean and linear. 69 CS 16 Merlot and the rest PV. This clearly the weakest build of Jeff’s run of left bank builds. The 2014 was classic, so not huge numbers for the CS. THE TEXTURE IS LOVELY though. ;) 90+ for sure, keeping the streak ALIVE!! — 3 years ago
