Outstanding. Gossamer pale peach with honeyed highlights, expressing pure alpine air, catmint, dried honeycomb, white peach, cherubs tears, and meadow flowers. On the palate, it’s elegant and beautifully balanced, each note perfection, not unlike Vivaldi’s Le Quattro Stagioni, here is lilting, refined, pitch-perfect acidity set against a backdrop of dewy raspberries that extends to sweet saline-edged oblivion. — 8 years ago
Light and silky. A good value for the taste. — 9 years ago
Darkest red color and a sweet, mature bouquet (2006 drank in 2015). Complex mouthfeel would be wonderful with lamb and heavy meaty dishes. Plummy and dark berry notes. — 9 years ago

Apparently Linden, VA is the place to grow Chardonnay: it starts like it is going to hit with too much oak...but then it has wild and lingering acidity/ delightful — 9 years ago
Zingy, something almost...Chardonnay-ish about it. Not in a bad way. I don't love it like I did the 2015 but I'd drink it again. It got those asparagus notes crossed with pear and apple. I like it. I miss 2015 but hey that's wine--every year is it's own thing — 7 years ago

Ron from VA
Sourced from Wild Meadow in Round Hill, this classic North Gate chard has aged nicely and still has some rounding out to do. This really pushes all the taste buttons (tropical fruits, floral, oakiness, & vanilla)...and begs for playful food to harness its tannins! — 7 years ago
