One of the best, if not the best vintner in the state of Virginia. FWIW that is not faint praise. Virginia wines are coming along quite well. California, don't look back. The Old Dominion is gaining on you!

Good flavor up front but dies out quickly with zero finish. Chocolate, earth, tobacco, black fruit on nose.

Starting to decipher the fuss over VA wine with this very stately red.
