At an impressive 13+ years from harvest - this cab franc led field blend allows for its varietal lead to sing loudest. 50% CF with 30 Merlot and 20 PV. Once again, showing the aging potential of Monticello fruit. This probably only had 12 months of oak to boot. — 22 days ago

Solid execution of the not so often dance partners Cab Sauv & PV (at 72 and 23 %s respectively). 8 years of integration has proven profitable! Plenty of energy left yet nice resolution of oak and tannin. Not a heavy lifter, this was solid for medium weight weeknight plates. — 5 years ago

I think the 2013 vintage is starting to show some promise… This 50% Merlot blend with cab Franc at 30% was really enjoyable – especially as it had a chance to unwind in the glass. Cab Sauv at 15% and PV at five… It’s really about the flavor profiles playing well together with not fair… The oak treatments tend to be about the same. This seems like a nice 5 Wood – good height and decent distance from a smooth swing :) — 8 years ago

In this 2017 label release, we find Lizzy’s base blend in a 4 bottle vintage. This one uses no Cab Sauv...so Merlot’s dance partners are 30 PV and 5 CF to add texture/verve to the 60% sweet cherry base. — 6 years ago

After an extended aging time, this fella points at the clean-quality of the estate fruit just north of Whitehall. A little more rounded and denser than a non-reserve offering. This is one to hold for several years before bottle #2 is opened. 3 x 1/3 build — 8 years ago

HUGE! Bombastically grapey. This will age for decades in amazing ways. One of the finest wines to come from the eastern seaboard. — 13 years ago

this vintage is a return to the norm. I think the hallmark of this Petit Verdot focused wine is that it is strikingly linear with a medium weight. It seems on characteristic of the components to be so tempered. 60 PV 30 cf 10 cs — 7 years ago

This may be the first or second of Lizzy's wines that I can drink early. Most are too powerful to be opened now – and/or laying down for years. But this was made with good ripe Merlot as its 45% base. Totally balance and quite tasty. Can Sauv 30% and PV at 25% offer tannins and body. Glad I have more ;) — 9 years ago
