The best Virginia has to offer from the great Barboursville Vinyards. Warm tannins, plum, light burnt wood.

Celebrating the final few days of VA wine month and a successful work event with this 2008 Octagon. I did not love my last bottle of ‘08, but this is just lovely. Bold with hints of cherry and tobacco- drink this now!

I would never have guessed this was from Virginia. Bordeaux blend, more old world style than new world. Light to medium body.

Opened and it was bold bold bold. After 30 min decanting it mellowed out and was beautiful. Not as much depth as I would have liked but still lovely
