Moderate reddish purple with amber rim. A little tight but with red cherry, mushroom, cloves, mint, and floral notes on the nose. Tart cranberry fruit and prominent minerality on the palate with medium tannins, bright acidity, 13% alcohol, and pleasing persistence. — 9 years ago

With the context of Virginia as the terroir for cab sav, this is a winner. Chocolate and Caramel swirl in a sturdy full-bodied offering made by Michael Shaps with grapes from Monticello AVA. Acidity and tannins are reasonable enough to balance with black, fruit forward for design. what makes this a complete wine and worthy of accumulation is the long satisfying finish. Yummy! — 10 years ago

Lovely! Full featured - full bodied gem from the last vintage made by the chap who left for Shaps. Oak and vanilla are at about 75% which lets the beautiful tropical notes (banana) and subtle floral sweetness...I will try to add another bottle :) — 11 years ago

Been open for 8 hours. More butter flavor is present now. It starts out with sharp acidity then fills in with rich, creamy flavors on the finish. This is a big Meursault for someone who hardly drinks whites. Got to meet Michael Shaps today while trying his Burgundies! — 11 years ago

An aging project, this Michael Shaps led Cab Franc had a real since of place "taste". I think this was given a non-case Gold in VA. Really good structure - tannins and acid still carrying real strong energy! The success in this aging process: tempered junk! You know, the wild red fruit mixed with the herbal spice...it was mellowed into an elegant to Tenor. Loud yet articulate :) — 9 years ago

Like massaging a leather couch stuffed with dried cherries and spice. For a decade. Barbaresco wouldn't be an awful call. — 10 years ago

Andi and I enjoyed an oft the charts White Burgundy, from our cousin Rich's cellar and one of his great finds on a recent visit to Burgundy, France. We loved the wine almost as much as the time we spent with Our cousins Rich and Val, in October. — 12 years ago

Perhaps one of the only ampersands in Burgundy not followed by a "Fils." Also, delicious. — 12 years ago
