12/2/2018 - Bill Martin Likes this wine: 88 pointsBold, somewhat fruity, nice acid, some tannins, very much an East Coast red. Stood up well to a Crock Pot chicken with a balsamic vinegar, onion, shallot & mushroom sauce. |

2010 Cave Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Franc Red SilkShenandoah Valley more |
1/27/2016 - grayfont wrote: 88 pointsThis is as smooth as advertised - that mouthfeel is the star of the show here. Flavor profile is cherry. If not for being a little high pitched (opposite of deep, at least in my wine vocabulary), this would approach 90. As it is, very enjoyable. |

2007 Cave Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Franc Red SilkShenandoah Valley more |
12/1/2015 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRInitially a bit concerned by what looked like a bit of cork leakage, and a trace of sediment on the first pour. Nose seemed flat, and first two sips did not convey the depth that I'd hoped 8 years would impart. But color me surprised, because this actually came alive in my glass and was very drinkable. |

4/20/2015 - erikdahlin wrote: NRCork seemed very soft, too easy coming out. Dark red color, cab franc on the nose and palate. This has softened a lot. Something seemed a bit off somehow. The nose had some unpleasantness about it, and the flavor was just kind of meh. Also loads of sediment in bottle. Cave Ridge sits in a beautiful location -- but can't compete with the likes of Glen Manor or Linden in terms of quality or taste. |

2009 Cave Ridge Vineyard SyrahShenandoah Valley more |
7/16/2013 - grayfont Likes this wine: 88 pointsInky dark purple color. Starts out with a strong nose of dark fruit and comes across the palate with a spicy/peppery flourish. This really is quite enjoyable. Consistently one of my favorite producers in Virginia, and wines like this (and, of course, the Cab Franc in good vintages) are the reason why. |

10/26/2012 - erikdahlin Likes this wine: NRSlate-y, brick red color, but not too dense. Peppery nose, but soft finish on first sip. Not too much there, but what is works. Might work with bacon-wrapped scallops...because it tastes a bit like that. Did work well with pizza. A pretty yummy bottle of grapes. |

11/11/2012 - grayfont wrote: 88 pointsdecided to revisit this again after the disappointing showing in March. Pop and pour through the vinturi. Happy to report that tonight's bottle was terrific. In fact, after all of that "sharp" discussion below, the wine tonight wasn't sharp in any way. It was rich and deep, with a dark purple color and a palate of red/blue fruit flavors to match. quite happy with this. |

2009 Cave Ridge Vineyard Cabernet FrancShenandoah Valley more |
1/16/2012 - grayfont wrote: 84 pointspop n pour. some bottle funk and a plastic odor on opening which dissipated after about 5-10 minutes. after that, the nose was not very expressive but the wine is bursting with bright red fruit on the palate. the wine's color is on the pink/red side of purple and, visually, it is unusually thin & transparent for a cab franc. in the mouth this wine has medium body and a medium length finish with the sour fruit more prominent on the finish than the cab franc pepper. quite drinkable, but based on this it's no surprise that randy did not see fit to produce a "red silk" bottling in this vintage. |
