Cabernet Franc 2010

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 :) — 8 years ago

Les Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2009

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. — 10 years ago

Perhaps one of the only ampersands in Burgundy not followed by a "Fils." Also, delicious. — 11 years ago

Les Chalandins Vosne-Romanée Pinot Noir 2005

Like massaging a leather couch stuffed with dried cherries and spice. For a decade. Barbaresco wouldn't be an awful call. — 8 years ago

Grace Estate Winery

Estate Grown Viognier 2013

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 :) — 9 years ago

Meursault Chardonnay 2013

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! — 10 years ago

The Barns at Hamilton Station

Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

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! — 8 years ago
