I have tasted many of the top wines made on the east coast, these guys while new have made a tremendous impact in such a short time period.
This bottle was better than the last, especially getting time to savor it over a few hours.
If you are in the DC area or traveling through head an hour west and check out @rdvvineyards in the Middleburg AVA of northern Virginia.
More Merlot in the blend here offers an earlier approachability for a superb wine that has a plush core of deep red fruits, plum, graphite, purple florals, cocao and toast. A refined structure that frames the plush and pleasing fruit component well, it then transitions well into a contrast of energetic and persistence on the elegant, but deeply finish. The mid palate on this is insane, so deep and pure! #rdv #vawines #middleburg @vawine

Deep garnet red with a ruby hue. Reserved on the nose with some aged characteristics, starting off with forest floor notes, damp leaves, even a touch of brett. Notes of black cherry undertones as well. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Still a baby that needs some air to open up. A bit savory on the palate with strong element of cherries throughout. Very dry and long finish. Drink till 2024.

Right Bank Bordeaux? This blend has deep blue and red fruits and iron nose and palate with a hint of iodine and tomato leaf thrown in. Virginia tastes more like France than the rest of the new world. Rutger set out to make something special and he has with this age-worthy ode to Virginia and The Right Bank.

French style Cab with soft mouthfeel evocative of St-Emilion or Pomerol. Smooth tannins and just right acidity makes this a great food wine. Best Virginia Red wine I have tasted. Can't wait to taste their "Lost Mountain".
