Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (54%), Merlot (38%) and Cabernet Franc (8%). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Dark fruit aromas with hints of charcoal, bramble, mint and violets. Black cherry leads the palate along with notes of blueberry, plum, currants and dark chocolate. Hint of minerals and fresh herbs on the long finish. Juicy, fresh tasting and well structured.

2012 was a classic and tight vintage in Virginia… This blend does feature a lead of cab sauv at 38% with CF AT 31% - Merlot singing background at 25% — 4 months ago
Another oldie, probably just past its peak. 38 years old - not bad! Barn-sided red with some brick on the edge. Lots of cedar, graphite, black pepper and cigar ash to smell but little fruit. Nice smooth tannins, still a little puckering. Medium acidity. For flavor there are some darker berries and red cherry notes. It’s a nicely balanced wine. Good length on the finish. — a year ago
JV btw Ch Cheval Blanc & Terrazas De Los Andes, blend of Bordeaux "First Growth" winemaking in ARG, blend of Malbec (62%) & Cab Sauv (38%), aged 15 months in oak (50% new), riper fruit, slightly more alcohol than ‘16, deep Ruby, complex aromas of berry fruits & floral spice nose. On the palate flavors, blueberry and juicy blackberry fruit with spicy herb, cacao & smoky oak. Fine soft tannins, well balanced, good acidity, long finish ending with fruit & oak. Will continue to age. — 4 years ago
Honeysuckle — 6 months ago
1985 vintage.
Ruby red colour.
Nose of dried dark berries, tobacco, violets and herbs.
Flavours of black currants, licorice, leather and sandalwood.
Tannins are beautifully developed and the freshness of the wine is surprising with a juicy, long, lovely finish. An impressive wine at 38 years old.
