From my birth state, still home at heart, Virginia, Barboursville Vineyards delivers with its Nebbiolo. Medium red in color pales to a pink on the rim--slightly more colorized than Piedmonte counterparts. On the nose are hints of kerosene (believe it), mint, and cherry. Medium plus acidity, medium plus alcohol (a bit hot on the tongue), and medium bodied. Red cherry and dried herbs on the plate. Drying, but pleasant tannins. This easily compares to a Langhe Nebbiolo of equal age. It would be interesting to taste older vintages. Very proud!!!

10/10/24 ALX Best of Virginia wine class. 100% Petit Manseng. Loved this one! Extremely tart and citrusy, light and refreshing. One of my (and Erin the wine guru!) favorite VA wines! — 2 months ago
Well balanced, hints of under-ripe fruit — maybe melon and pear. Tastes like Chardonnay grape. Finish is interesting and slightly metallic. Quite nice, an unexpected surprise. — 3 months ago
