October 16, 2023 - Showing really well, dark fruit, blackberry, black currants with a very attractive succulent/seductive character, really stood out as a special wine

June 13, 2023 - Fading but still with rich dark fruit. Nuanced finish with chewy tannins present. Some forest game and barnyard notes

September 24, 2022 - Familiar RdV nose. Cherry and tanned leather, blueberry and some dusty wood. Drinking very well right now, but still has years to go. Fruit is prominent. Merlot dominant. Great Bordeaux style wine.

March 20, 2022 - This wine is aging gracefully. Nose of crushed blueberries, gravel, touch of oak. Tannins have smoothed out. Black pepper notes have almost disappeared. Smooth, fruit is still present. Long finish. In its prime, but still has a few years ahead of it.

December 21, 2021 - In a good spot. Evolved over the course of the evening and into the next day. Very classic in style, doesn’t necessarily remind you of Bordeaux, but it has the complexity and character. Upon opening there was a bit of astringency but that subsided as the wine opened up. Nice structure, power and length, if a bit stemmy. Nice fruit.
Hard to believe it’s from Virginia.1 person found this helpful Comment
