VA was fairly strong in the nose and carried over to the palate. Probably would have drank better last year. Drank on 1/2/15

Full bodied but light tannins and a strong oak finish. Loved this one.

What was a very good winery at one time is now producing crap!!! I will be dumping my membership very soon!!! This wine has a nasty bite on the end......I imagine a dump bucket tasting better at other wineries!!!

Musty with a hint of skunk. Big alcohol flavor right off the bat.
