  May 30, 2015 - This is the '15 Virginia Governor's Cup winner. And rightly so! It has great balance, length and complexity. The merlot shines through even though it's just 25% of the mix. Im not sure of its longevity...a few years more at least..... but it's in a VERY good place now. The best Virginia bottle ive had!!! The state's vineyards have come a LONG WAY since my college days in the Old Dominion 40 years ago. I highly recommend this '09 delivery, especially because Virginia vintages can be erratic, with its variable and sometimes problematic climate. I havent tried the '10 Clio, but you'll be the first to know how it compares. Mr. Jefferson would be proud!
