Soft tannins with notes of cherry but not much on the finish. — 6 years ago
May be a hint of cab franc in there. Retains beautiful floral aspects throughout. Zippy red fruit, honeydew melon, and orange peel along side wet gravel and angel food cake. Finishes very dry with lifted acidity. Perfect summertime sparkly from a stunning estate. Celebrating my Fiancée finding her wedding dress tonight! Cheers!

What a wine! Extraordinary deep purple color, great smell on plums and dark fruit, full-bodied, complex multi-layered taste, rather oaky (barrique) and wild, rough tannins, medium plus aftertaste. Powerful, rustical, wild. I like it! But it should be consumed with a rich meal. — 8 years ago
Veritas is my favorite vineyard in the Charlottesville area. The tasting room is open and comfortable. The grounds offer scenic and pleasing views. For me, the Vintners Reserve is the must have bottle of their selection. — 10 years ago
Buttery, rich, wonderful nose. One of my favorite wines. A bit pricey but worth it. — 10 years ago
This is the first year that Billo Naravane has made this incredible wine. The Grenache entirely aged in natural oak while the Syrah saw 20% new oak before bottling. The wine is a stunning blend of 71% Grenache with 29% Syrah which was entirely sourced from the ‘SJR Vineyard’ in the Walla Walla Rocks AVA. Pretty red rose petals, red cherry candy and orange rind combine with shades of Hoisin sauce and Umami tones on this exotic nose. The palate is silky smooth with wonderful freshness and a great sense of elegance. The seamless effect on the mid-palate is nothing short of captivating, as is the exceedingly long finish that provides the crescendo. Vibrant and youthful, this beautiful wine will cellar well for another decade — but why wait? Drink 2020-2028- 96 — 6 years ago

I thought this was great. It had nice herbal flavors, some pepper, and good fruit. Would like to try again. — 7 years ago

Interesting. Lots of oak and fruit with a smooth velvety finish. Classic Aussie. Probably at its peak but still going strong. Has a few years left in the tank — 9 years ago
Crisp, fresh strawberry and watermelon aromas with just a touch of cranberry. Lively, fresh and fruity on the palate. Flavors of strawberry, watermelon, peach and a touch of citrus are followed by crisp, dry minerality and a bright, acidic backbone. The finish is long and dry with lingering minerality and citrus. — 10 years ago
Brooding, rich wine. Interesting sour fruit note. — 10 years ago

Nice example of a Michigan red blend in the style of Bordeaux. Starts full fruit and finishes drier with some mild tannin. Worked well with venison enchiladas. — 6 years ago
