March 12, 2009 - Both aroma and taste have strong dark chocolate tones, pow, just like popping a Garibaldi 86% taster. Ok fruit, not well balanced. Although the label says Merlot, what is it? only 85% needs to be Merlot? I suspect that some of the remainder, whatever the Merlot percentage, is Cabernet Franc. Nice touch.
Overall, a basic Merlot; but given that this is from the state of Virginia I'd have to say above average. Good with spicy Tandoori chicken. Notes of earthiness and leather, some spice.
Purchased from the winery.
