Dry, but full bodied. It would likely pair well with a hardy stew. Winemaker's tasting notes: "This rich and savory red emulates flavors of blackberry, black cherry and black plum notes with hints of vanilla and spice. Dry and tannic due to thick skins, this wine finishes with a long smoky wood finish. Aging potential 5-10 years." — 11 years ago

One of my favs - local VA wine at it's best. Buttery with a hint of coconut. Perfect for drinking outside on a hot day.

Decant for 2-3 hours. Smooth. Oaky. With late tannin hot, and a berry/jam hint finish. Nice tight finish with a sandpaper tongue at the end. Worth visiting if you run into it. — 11 years ago

Tawny rim, lovely perfume. Great rendition of a southern Rhone style - Grenache Shiraz Mataro Cinsault. Full and concentrated even at 9 years. Delicious jubey flavours. Losing a half point for an overly heavy bottle. 18. — 12 years ago

What merlot should be. Black and brooding, this monster needs some air time to show. No apparent loss in 10 years. Black fruit and cedar with some herbals hints with mineral. A complete wine. Could make a strong run at being a Pomerol in a ripe year. Cannot recommend highly enough. Especially if you find it at a good price. — 13 years ago
