Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Light amber with a bouquet of stone fruits with citrus notes and yeasty tones. Plenty of bubbles dancing in the flute. Crisp and fresh, mineral, white flesh fruit, citrus well balanced with acidity. Lingering finish with zesty ending. Nice Grand Cru. Tasting Sample. — 5 years ago

Legs, 9/10. Smells spicy, heavy cherry on the nose. So smooth!!! Tannic, but not overbearing. Cherries, oak on taste. Love this one. — 6 years ago

A refreshing surprise on a hot Virginia summer day. Not too sweet, just need more ice to keep it chilled. At the winery. — 9 years ago

Nose of red and green strawberries in chalk, raspberry bush clippings. Palette had vegetal notes with berries dancing through. Really young. Would be even better in a few years. Air helped. Super long and precise finish. Excellent. — 6 years ago

Nice dark red color. Aromas of blackberries, hickory smoked wood and fresh cracked pepper. Full flavors of dark fruits, nice structure. Went amazing with a pizza- pepperoni, prosciutto, sausage and kalamata Olives. — 7 years ago

Fine line ghost peach color. Short toasted nose with a beautiful fresh strawberry palate dancing into a memory ( like biting into a red delicious Washington Apple, over plump and perfect, on a country side road) : A Structured, elegant rose, with razor wire nerve: Wish I'd had another bottle — 8 years ago

9.4

Color of grayish purple, quite clear with a bit orange note. Nose is balanced fragrance with dried strawberry, spice, tobacco leaves, cured meat, and more sweet berries. Taste is light, and follows the nose, right amount of acidity and tannins, zest, just a bit sweetness shows her subtlety, more cured meaty note dancing with the berry note. Aftertaste shows backbone of tannins, medium long with savory spice, acidity and sweetness. Pretty good. — 6 years ago
