Perhaps the best sweet American wine I have tasted. Sublime apricot aroma. $24 at Charlottesville Costco.

Aug 20th, 2023Thanksgiving dinner with London Lees Grafs. Opened for Edi as second sweet wine. Tropical notes galore and a very sweet and fruit forward profile. Surprising for a Virginian wine.

Joyous to sip on. Dizzyingly lush as peonies in high spring, but honey rich & busy as autumn sun draped across the evening lawn. Fucking glorious, & waiting for a hunk of smelly-rotted blue cheese smothered in honey. My word.

Sweet, luscious dessert wine loaded with stone fruit and blossoms. Home run for Barboursville

Can’t figure out smell. Light yellow color. Tastes like pear and peaches syrup- very sweet and thick.

Pleasantly surprised. Didn't think a barbera from this region had much to offer. Simple (but well made) wine That goes great with simple pizza.

Nice dessert wine with a good side of acidity to balance the residual sugar. Lots of stone fruit and some citrus on the palate.

Wow.... complex, fragrant, and delicious. Buy it if you have the chance.
