Petit Verdot 2014

This is my last of 4 bottles of this gold medal winner. PV is what Jefferson specializes in and this one still sings as beautiful with 6+ years of aging — 3 years ago

Estate Bottled Cabernet Sauvignon Monticello 2015

This Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon is surprisingly good! Big cherry and vanilla (cream soda) aromas and flavors. Hints of dried herbs and green pepper (not overwhelming) on the finish. Balanced acidity and smooth tannins. Was not expecting much from a Virginia Cab (Bottle claims Estate Grown from the Monticello AVA) but this wine is well made. An extremely pleasant surprise. — 5 years ago

Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Bright tropical fruit notes with solid acidity but "softer" than a NZ Sauv Blanc — 7 years ago

Jefferson Vineyards

Meritage Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

One of finest vintage yrs for this estate, as evidenced by the OPULENTLY RICH PV component. Jeffersons terroir and taste of place are evident in this bottle… Think somewhere in between Paso Robles Cab and Rhône GSM. - very unique finish. Delish and a real value! $28 at Wegs — 2 years ago

Brut Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Blend 2009

Let’s leave the politics out of this. Very solid Sparkler. Great vintage made with excellent Chardonnay grapes. Green apple, pear, with a bit of lemon. A hint of sourdough bread. Creamy texture and very effervescent. — 5 years ago

King Family Vineyards

Monticello Cabernet Franc 2018

This is a nice and light Cabernet Franc from Virginia. Showing red and blue fruits with earth, honeysuckle, chocolates, oak, vegetables and spices.

Light ruby in color with medium intensity.

Very pretty nose, sweet and flowery.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Good right out of the bottle., light and airy. Would be nice to revisit it in a couple of years.

A good food wine that I paired with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses olive crackers.

12% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$28.
