My wife’s favorite Virginia wine. Great nose. A tasty lush full substructure of dark berry fruits. Mid pallet is mild Stella cherry with the muleberry finish. Black and raspberry all around makes this a superb supper! — 2 years ago
Not a powerful hit on the nose but subtle cherry notes come through. Up front is a nice fruity tang of cherry and teaberry. Mid palate has deeper berry feel with some light earth tones. Back cigar tastes and black fruit shows up near the end. This is good with an Italian cuisine or a red meat like smoked brisket or fillet Mignon. Nice! — 2 years ago
Debra’s Cuvée Pinot Noir Rose’. Thicker than most good Rose’s. Fruity goodness with, believe it or not, Spice near the end. Yummy Pinot grape taste with flowers and honey suckle. Nice! — a year ago
Oh yes! First taste on the palette is amazing! What a marvelous mix of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cab Sav. Mid palette is smooth and comfy to the taste. Toasting cherry licorice and some light berry. Great Toscana flavors. Back to the nose… sweet lilac and flowery fruit. I would pair this wine with salads, and Salmon or a Pork loin. Like the cool tannins on the finish. Superb sipper! Almost close to the best Virginia wines. Very mature soil taste. — a year ago
So, I will start off on a High Note. Great nose of deep berry and spice. There is a Mulberry tang that eventuates spices at the end. There is a lasting mouth feel of fruity goodness but never I’ve what you’d want in a good drinking Red Blend. — 2 years ago
Good for an Oregon grape. Rough start but pert dark berry. Nose is dark fruit. Mid pallet has licorice and leather. Spice ending. Ok. — a year ago
Honeysuckle on the nose and first pallet. Flowers and cream on the mid-pallet with the Grenache showing most dominant grape. Smooth mouth feel and ending slightly sweet with earth tones of blended light colored fruits and teaberry. Great sipper moving from cold to cool. — a year ago

Very impressive. Love a good tannat and hate an under achieving tannat. This however is very good. Bing Cherry and leather on the front. Chaulky black fruit on the finishing notes. Had ours with a specialty pizza of pepperoni and mushrooms. Absolutely a fabulous pairing! Lastly, the spice on this slightly tannic blend is perfect. ♥️ — 2 years ago

Nose is a sweet dark fruit. First taste is smooth and subtle. Pomegranate and cherry on the mid palate. A fine tart finish with tannic mouth feel. Very nice. Pairs nicely with spaghetti sauce and sausage. Yummy. Not an expensive wine at all but a great sipping wine. — a year ago
