Pollak's 2013 Estate Merlot -- tons of blueberry on the nose and palate, medium minus acidity, medium minus tannin, soft velvety finish. A delicate treat!

Pollock makes some of the best reds in Virginia. This Merlot is no exception.

Had a bottle at Tuscarora Mill. We all really liked it. Smooth, cherry flavor, oaky. Much better than expected for a VA wine.

I remember this wine being quite good when I visited the winery a few years back, and I brought home two bottles. This was the first of the two, and unfortunately, it was corked. Very bummed out. I was quite looking forward to it. I'm giving it a good score.

Great local wine. Can be compared to most of California wine.
