Very nice color with a hint of smoke with a very smooth finish. — 5 months ago
was sitting on the rack for some time and well worth the open with a cheesy italian dinner. — 2 years ago
Terrific blend of Petite Verdot (32%), Cab Sauv (28%), Merlot (22%) and Cab Franc (18%), VA grown grapes. Medium body, fruit (berries) and tannins with a Swisher Sweet finish. Aerate! Great solo and pairs easily. Buy me more. — 4 years ago

Black fruit, bramble, barnyard, cola and sage. Rustic, with plenty of tannin left for another decade plus. — 5 months ago
Signature smells of bright and fresh raspberry, cherry, and plum, with bramble, notes of bell pepper and mint, hints of baker's vanilla, cinnamon and clove, and faint whiffs of warm tires and fallen wet leaves. On the palate fresh but richer red fruit of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, hints of asparagus, with a medium mouthfeel and medium-length finish. The 13.8% alcohol gave the body some weight but was a tad strong for the bright red fruit profile. Overall this is a balanced Loire-style Cab Franc. Went great with my portobello caps with homemade porcini-morel gravy; food and wine really brought out the spice flavors of each other. — 2 years ago
Soooo balanced and fresh - considering it was 11 full years from vintage… Fabulous wine making from an average regular vintage — 39 cs, 35 Merlot, 17 cf, 9 pv — 2 months ago
Cherries and raspberries, good depth and length, slightly sour. — 10 months ago
Red berry, humid summer forest, hints of old leather jacket and hard candies on the nose. Plum, raspberry, tart cherry, notes of vanilla, soft puckering tannins lingering with juicy cranberry on the finish. Nice red for Virginia. Went well with pizza. — 3 years ago
