Fabbioli Cellars

Tannat 2012

Red berry, humid summer forest, hints of old leather jacket and hard candies on the nose. Plum, raspberry, tart cherry, notes of vanilla, soft puckering tannins lingering with juicy cranberry on the finish. Nice red for Virginia. Went well with pizza. — 5 years ago

Springlot Cabernet Franc Blend 2012

At 48% Franc, this beauty is really developing an integrated, spice-driven velvetiness! Black cherry and herbs meld to really take on that DELAPLANE micro-terroir. There, I said it. This could easily be mistaken for something from RdVs 3rd label line. One more bottle :) — 7 years ago

A very earthy red! Deep red, lots of tobacco, dried herbs, wet moss. A good recommendation that I would revisit. — 5 years ago

Mélange Blanc Virginia White Blend 2017

Poetic as it is practical....mouthfeel is the key to such precision. At once it is silky, voluptuous, deep and clean!! 43% Chard, 30 Vidal, 20 Viognier, 7 p man...from the best year for whites in a decade! Buying more at $22 post club % — 7 years ago

RdV Vineyards

Exsurgo Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

Big and chewy. Deep wine with strong fruit. Could use more aging. But shocking that it is from VA. I would have guessed a California Syrah or even a Malbec viviendo it’s huge profile. Yummy — 7 years ago

Reserve Williams Gap Red Blend 2014

12 was a classic year - not too hot, not very wet. A good year for acid! So, the Franc leads with 41% followed closely by CS at 35%. This creates a very unique profile that is often not employed by Virginia wine makers – a dance of two cabs. We took this bottle to a restaurant for steak (aged New York strip) with a nice char. Indeed, spice edge from the franc and the tannin from the Sauv made for a powerful cleansing combo!! While food functional, I only give this a 9.1 because it lacked elegance in the mid-palate flavor profile. Of course I should have expected that from a classic vintage where the sugars weren’t elevated – creating an extra rich core. One bottle remains. — 7 years ago
