Solid offering from one of Virginia's more interesting new operations. The 2008 RdV Rendezvous beginning to open up, best years still to come (5+). Dark purple in the glass with black cherry, leather, cedar box, sweet tobacco with hints of violets on the edges. In need of a little more time to find its 'balance' sweet spot.

Still too young. A bit closed on the first day, but opened up on Day 2 into plush plums and fine tannins. An aristocrat of a wine. 14.5%, so quite ripe.
