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.

Seriously and deceptively complex, but I'm more astounded by the sexy and energetic mouthfeel.

Very round and lush on the palate. Ripe plum and soft but firm tannins. Price is a bit steep though.

Big fruit but earthy and iron rich... Like a blend of old world and new.

Fantastic- nose of forest floor, dark cherries. Some cedar on the palate, dark cherries, dark plums (almost prunes, but not quite), medium high tannins (still), medium to full bodied. Complex, but not as complex and lingering as i was hoping for.
