Unexpected and delightful - Pinot Noir from Southwest Virginia! From vineyards planted at 1800 feet (big diurnal range and early harvest), this silky wine sang with notes of loam and damp earth, maitake mushroom, cranberry, red cherry, raspberry compote, boysenberry, violet, lavender, black pepper, toast and wood smoke, with bracing acid and medium-plus tannins on a medium frame. A long, satisfying, and juicy finish. One to seek out that proves how careful site selection and winemaking skill can produce superb results from innovative grape/region combinations! — 5 years ago

This rating is relative to its region (vis-a-vie: varietal potential). In reading Anthony‘s prior post, I too am shocked by the extracted character of the estate Malbec. Southwest facing w/ decent pitch, the vineyard now has so maturity to it. By no means was this a New York strip steak Malbec, but it appeared beautifully with the brats and currywurst from the on-site vendor. There is something almost about it that creates a charm especially for the region… Mind you, this is no big cork Malbec, but for the terroir, it’s quite an accomplishment! Taste profile is medium bodied with a cascading spice, black fruit and herbal wave to a long finish. It’s the glass that leaves you waiting for another sip :) — 5 years ago
