  Re-tasting some VA Governor's Cup wines: Juicy aromatics of peaches, candle wax yet it shows some brighter floral and chalky, salty tones as well. On the palate, lovely texture, waxy yet salty with apricot, peaches and limes. Love the creaminess and nuttiness, but it still shows zesty appeal. More honeyed and richer than the 2016, with less acidity and more of a rounder, nuttier style, but still a lovely wine.

  Virginia Governor's Cup Wines: Pale yellow color. Nose of white peaches, guava, lime, with floral perfume, dandelion, hints of chalky mineral notes. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity, plush texture yet lively throughout. Lemon curd, apricot, white peach, lime, the fruit is mixed in with lemon verbena, peach blossom, floral tea. Complex yet so fresh it goes down easily. Impressive stuff. Includes a combined 9% of Chardonnay, Petit Manseng and Riesling.

  Crisp white peaches on the nose. Body on the heavier side with strong fruit and balanced acidity on the finish. Nicely made !
