Petit Manseng 2023

10/10/24 ALX Best of Virginia wine class. 100% Petit Manseng. Loved this one! Extremely tart and citrusy, light and refreshing. One of my (and Erin the wine guru!) favorite VA wines! — a month ago

Pollak Vineyards

Estate Grown Monticello Petit Verdot 2019

Beast of the East vs. Best of the West….taste off
VA Monticello Petit Verdot against a Cali Napa Valley Cab.
Pairing: American Wagyu Strip, Home Fries, Mushroom Ron Zacapa 23 glaze.
As much as I love my Napa Cabs, the edge went to the PV. 93 - 92.

Barboursville Vineyards

Reserve Virginia Cabernet Franc 2021

The other night I opened the 2021 Barboursville Vineyards Virginia Reserve Cabernet Franc. From Barboursville, Virginia a blend of 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot.

On the nose there is strawberry, raspberry, herbs, green bell pepper, violet, graphite and crushed gravel.

On the palate is strawberry, raspberry, red plum, pepper, herbs, green bell pepper and crushed gravel.

This is a medium bodied wine with a smooth mouthfeel medium to medium + acidity and medium to medium + integrated silky tannins that provides a long red fruit herbaceous finish. We are starting a new weekend and so let us have a wonderful one. Try and have fun relaxing with your loved ones. Stay healthy and safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Barboursville is delightful. We live not far from there and it’s definitely worth the drive if you’re a few hours away.

Barboursville Vineyards

Reserve Virginia Nebbiolo 2020

From my birth state, still home at heart, Virginia, Barboursville Vineyards delivers with its Nebbiolo. Medium red in color pales to a pink on the rim--slightly more colorized than Piedmonte counterparts. On the nose are hints of kerosene (believe it), mint, and cherry. Medium plus acidity, medium plus alcohol (a bit hot on the tongue), and medium bodied. Red cherry and dried herbs on the plate. Drying, but pleasant tannins. This easily compares to a Langhe Nebbiolo of equal age. It would be interesting to taste older vintages. Very proud!!!

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 — 3 years ago

Chatham Vineyards

Church Creek Steel Chardonnay 2022

Well balanced, hints of under-ripe fruit — maybe melon and pear. Tastes like Chardonnay grape. Finish is interesting and slightly metallic. Quite nice, an unexpected surprise. — 3 months ago

Stunning… Beautiful concentration of a variety capable of dense blackberry beautifulness :) I would say I age this to perfection with patients! — 6 months ago

Michael Shaps

Wild Meadow Vineyard Chardonnay 2018

Even though 18 was a dramatically wet vintage, Michael knows how to coax enough tannin and acid from the rain logged clusters. Sorting must’ve been the real key here as the blend retained quite a bit of structure associated with other quality vintages. While a bit mellow and buttery, it was still very pleasant with the floral component. — 9 months ago
