Bright clear dense purple color. Deep dark blackberry, blueberry, red cherry and plum. Tannins present but well rounded. Elegantly done.

Too soon, so I reckon. Ought to have kept my trap shut, my hands to themselves, lest they get to the devils work of openin bottles too soon

I’m not usually a fan of Merlots, but this Virginian Merlot was a pleasant surprise. It’s nice and round; great nose and palate to finish. Highly recommended especially after decanting.

Dark cherry, mellowed alcohol on the nose. Soft, full-bodied, huge. Insatiable.
