  A touch of VA appreciable on the palate not the nose (banana-ish).

  Devotees of McVitie's may feel the urge to send a cease-and-decease letter to Hobnob "Vineyards" since their famous Hobnob biscuit surely preceded this manufacturer of wine. It's a bit of a stretch to use the term "vineyard" in the name as there is no indication as to the region of origin; certainly not White Plains New York. CellarTracker tells us the PN comes from Pays d'Oc.
  
  I was a bit skeptical as I tried it from the tiny plastic cup at Mariano's but, in all, decent for a $10.99. I've had a lot worse at higher prices. Soft cherry fruit, medium acidity, modest length. It probably exceeds expectations.

  Color: Dark, dark plum hues.
  Nose: kalamata olive and light pepper..
  Flavor: A very herbaceous profile. Again, kalamata olive. Not much else going on. A little heat at the end, but mostly smooth finish.

  Agree with Kopanski's comments.
  
  Soft, lacking bite but that is to be expected from southern vineyards. Competently made,definitely showing influence of modern techniques
  
  good value

  Had a Village Tavern in Charlotte, NC on Thursday, October 29, 2015. Great quaffing wine with food.
