Jammy plums, twigs, and gravel. Earthy. Nice with a rich beef stew.

Lovely black fruit and tobacco, nice woodsy complexity, elegantly textured. Good work. Consulting winemaker Paul Hobbs

Still a bit rustic but strong fruit and balanced tannins.

Jammy and well balanced. Hard to hit this level of ripeness with the VA reds.

Lots of alcohol on the nose but it turned tail on the palate. I remembered this more fondly than it was tonight but still a strong red: tobacco but stronger on the blackberry. Not a bad wine to kick off the fall weather!

Rich ripe and extracted. Also smack you in the mouth tannin and acid. Really? Virginia? 👍👍👍

Not worthy of the price. Tasty, but just doesn’t deliver like the wineries Rose, etc

Our favorite from today’s vineyard, will probably be even better after opening up for a few hours.
