9/9/2023 - ChipGreen Likes this wine: NRHint of sweetness on the entry, with bright cherry and strawberry notes. Good acidity, light spice and tannins give it a dry, slightly tart finish. Very enjoyable on a warm summer's day. In our top 3 of VA Rose, along with Trump and our favorite, the King Family "Crose". |

8/21/2023 - ChipGreen Likes this wine: NRMixed berries on the nose with some allspice and a bit of heat from the alcohol. Raspberry and bramble palate with well integrated oak. Tannins become more pronounced with some air and flavor profile is heavier on spice and bramble when paired with pepperoni/sausage pizza. Medium body, medium+ finish. Holding up well. |

1/12/2022 - ChipGreen Likes this wine: NRComposite cork. Amazingly fresh for an inexpensive 15 year old blend of Sangiovese, Zinfandel and Merlot. Raspberries, earth and allspice with a slight herbal (sage) note. Improved in the glass over an hour of air time. |
