Rosé 2019

I’m not a big fan of VA wines in general, but Arterra makes some good wines, and they may be my favorite at the moment. This rose is fruity, crisp, and flavorful with decent length. — 3 years ago

Malbec 2014

Greg Ballington
9.1

Third wine from Arterra Wines. Crimson red with garnet edges. A little more smoke on the nose than the Cabernet Franc, and more perfume. Undertones of leather and white pepper too, nicely layered. Darker characteristics on the palate, some berries too. Rolls down your tongue with an almost papery texture. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) with a moderate body, slightly fuller than the Cabernet Franc. Long and lingering finish. Would be great to try this in a couple years to see how it integrates and develops further. Drink till 2024. — 8 years ago

Chardonnay 2017

Tons of flavour. Bright notes of green apple, citrus fruits, and white flowers. Tons of creamy, mineral notes. Crisp and clean, but still lots of oak spice and fresh butter. One of the best chardonnays I've had in a long time. — 4 years ago

Reserve Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2014

Greg Ballington
9.0

Last real wine from Arterra Wines. Crimson red. Pretty tight to start, cranberrries, slight smokiness, leather and some yeast. Palate is covered in dark cherries and strong acidity. Moderate plus tannins (7.5/10) and fuller than the Malbec or Cabernet Franc. Long and lingering finish. This wine needs at least a year in the bottle before touching again, like Jason said he just bottled this and it is not yet ready. Definitely has some great potential! Drink till 2026. — 8 years ago

Tannat 2013

So delicious! New vineyard from the children of friends of my parents. Experimenting with the Tannat grape in Virginia. We loved, and this would age well. — 9 years ago

Dry Riesling 2015

Greg Ballington
8.9

Only white from Arterra Wines. Light and pale yellow. Very clean nose, with some pears and apricots. Clean and crisp palate. Tangy acidity (6/10) like when you bite into a Granny Smith apple. Undertones of some white fruits and tropical fruits. Very refreshing light to moderate body with a dry moderate plus finish. Solid riesling made by Jason. Drink till 2020. Grapes actually come from the Finger Lakes region. — 8 years ago
