Dark aromas of black olive tapenade, wet earth, black plum, black cherries and cracked pepper. Bright, juicy and peppery on the palate. Juicy flavors of cherries, black plum and pomegranate lead to notes of black pepper, oak, and spice layered with bright acidity. The finish is long and spicy with touches of earth and black fruits. Excellent paring with sausage risotto. — 9 years ago

First red from Black Ankle. Garnet red with a dark core. Slightly stinky attack on the nose followed by some dark cocoa and nutmeg. Undertones of dark fruits. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) with a medium body. Dark cocoa and cherries on the palate with some good acidity and backbone. Long slightly dry finish. Drink till 2019. Very interesting Label actually says 11/12/13. — 10 years ago

Smoky on the nose with notes of raspberry and stone. A lush, full, dry rose with flavors of raspberry, strawberry and slate. The finish is dry with very soft tannins and just a touch of bright acidity. — 11 years ago

Wonderful nose with apricots, peach and lime. Great golden color and smooth acidity making a solid finish. Wish I had more. A great example of why Maryland wines are coming up! — 11 years ago

Wow, who knew? I like port so that's a good start - but this has a nice orange chocolate background just perfect to sip for dessert without bring too sweet - love this and I'm not usually a fan of flavored vinos! — 13 years ago

I've now tasted this three times and I am impressed! Loads of pomegranate, red currant, sandalwood, and sleek tannins. This is a non-vintage wine with stuffing and will age well for another 5-8 years. — 10 years ago

2015 Chardonnay Reserve
First vineyard we have ever visited or tasted from in Maryland. Came highly recommended by a coworker and we highly recommend them too!

Mel gave us a glass of this Reserve Chardonnay while we walked around the vineyard, bottling truck and private cellar. Beautiful pale yellow gold, very clear. Very refreshing from the get go, even just from the nose. Lots of white fruits, stone fruits, citrus and some honeysuckle too as it warmed up. Lovely palate, with an attack of citrus fruits and green apples. Smooth, refreshing and crisp. No hard edges and no butter. Moderate acidity (6/10) with a medium body. Long and lingering finish. Perfect for the hot day! Drink till 2020. — 10 years ago

More sour than other domestic Goses, but refreshing with a nice yeastiness to it. The omission or minimal use of coriander was a welcome surprise. — 10 years ago

Went great with a dry rub roast and can stand on its own. Low tannin and smooth yet robust berry flavors with almost a hint of vanilla. — 11 years ago

This is my new go-to. Full of flavor, robust, and just the right amount of hops. Plus brewed in MD. What more do you need?? — 11 years ago

A bitchin' local! One notch down from Snake dog, but great for after a bit of hard graft. — 11 years ago

Lavender and sweet spice carry through to the palate along with fresh red fruits. The tannins are fine and the body medium lend themselves to a variety of dishes. I'm reminded of a Sonoma Coast syrah or a St. Joseph from the northern end of the AOC. — 11 years ago

Definitely the best rose I've had so far. Fruity and sweet but just the right amount of each. Drank this with Elaine and Hope during dinner when Elaine came to see the house for the first time since I furnished it. — 12 years ago

Another terrific Viognier vintage from OWW. I love the fruits that come out on the palate! Quince, white peach, apricot, and orange marmalade are finished by a dose of fresh chili pepper. Mineral nose and pleasant aromatics round this out. Drink over the next two years. — 10 years ago

smells of violets, cinnamon spice, peeled twig, cranberry, licorice, some candied cherry.
this was light and smoky-tea leaf in the mouth- a little vegetal- very tasty. — 10 years ago

Deep, smoky, earthy nose. Aromas of plum, black pepper, black olive, cocoa powder, tar and dried herbs. Surprisingly young and fresh on the palate. Flavors of black cherries and plums lead to dark flavors of dusty, dried herbs, earth and a touch of tar balanced by striking acidity. The finish is long and smooth with just a hint of spice and drying tannins. Reminiscent of a wonderful Tuscan red. — 10 years ago

Rich and grassy on the nose with hints of stone and peach. Very dry and crisp on the palate. Loads of mineral and green grass notes are balanced by big acidity. The finish is long with lots of stone. — 11 years ago
