On the nose, red berries, herbs, spice, and cedar. It was finely balanced on the palate, with flavors of strawberry and slight peppery notes. This wine showed beautiful structure leading to silky tannins on the finish but with enough fruit to keep it pleasant, focused and fresh. Longest tasting note for me. Joyful — 15 days ago

Mid 20th century fashionable country resort, popular with Hollywood due to 1892 stone Manor House & historic gardens. Blend of 81% Cab Sauv, 11% Merlot, 4% Malbec, rest other Rhone varieties, aged 20 months in 37% new French oak. Dark Ruby, aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs & spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry & black currant with vanilla oak and earthy notes. Well balanced, fine tannins long finish ending with fruit, espresso notes and sweet spice! Nice now and will drink well over next decade. — 2 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Consistent throughout. This was my first experience with the wines of Glen Manor and I was quite impressed. The St. Ruth certainly has some Bordeaux sensibilities. This vintage leads with Merlot as the predominate variety; Cabernet Franc pretty much covering the remaining balance with a little Petit Verdot for good measure. Predominately dark fruited with plums, tobacco, earth, leather, coffee and some baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannins and medium(+?) acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is medium; soft and comforting. This is a serious wine from Virginia. That being said, I get the sense that these need some time in the cellar to be truly appreciated. Drinking well now but will drink well for another 5-10 years.

Dry petit manseng. Tropical fruit and honey, with enough acid to cut it ten years later. Perfect with szechuan. — 10 months ago

Beautiful balance of mouthfeel with terroir character. A touch of Provence with a generous volume of oily/silk roundness! Beautiful to pair with summer cuisine!! — 2 years ago
