A classic southern, country wine fermented and sweetened in the traditional manner. Our simple and minimalist approach emphasizes the unique flavors that has made blackberry wine a favorite for generations. This wine is crisp, fruity and sweet. Delicious as a dessert wine or with your favorite game meal. Combine a measure of this wine with ice, a slice of orange and Perrier for a great and refreshing summer treat.

Another classic French Bordeaux style grape that is a traditional favorite of red wine lovers; We aged this fruit-forward wine in French oak barrels for 18 months: half in new oak and half in old oak. It is ruby red in color – almost jewel like when held up to the sun! The bouquet is clearly fruity with cherry being most prominent but not so strong as to prevent the soft vanillin tones to peak out. The acids and tannins are nicely balanced allowing a succession of flavors to evolve as the wine moves over the tongue. Cassis, berry, and ever so slight a touch of pepper reveal themselves slowly as the wine is sampled. Again it seems that our terroir imparts more delicate flavors of vanilla, chocolate, tobacco and cedar. This wine is versatile and easily pairs with a variety of foods: from light meals to hardier pasta or fine steaks. Great to simply enjoy by itself when served at cellar temperature.

This wine has a beautful bouquet and the name says it all. The characteristics are the same as our dry Traminette except it is slightly sweet. For those who enjoy sweeter wines you will love this one. Whether you pair with food such as fish or veal it contrasts harmoniously with spicy ethnic foods.

This is a blend of our best Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. We selected wine aged for at least 18 months in a variety of old and new oak barrels. The color is deep red. The margins are sharp and clean. When you raise the glass to your nose, you get a smooth, delicate and low key blend of aromas. The vanillin tones from the oak aging is pleasant but not forward. As the wine moves over your tongue you detect cherry, black currants and spice. Nutty tones followed by a slightly peppery finish. The mouth feel is full and bold. The tannins give the wine a solid full mouth feel. This wine is simply GOOD! Great with a bold steak, spring lamb or any fine cuisine that needs a sophisticated partner. Limited Quanties

This wine combines the crisp flavors of our blackberry wine with a full-bodied and lightly oaked Petit Verdot red wine. The cherry and dark chocolate tones of the Petit Verdot joins with the blackberry flavors to create a “transitional” red wine. Less sweet than our blackberry wine but enhanced with Bordeaux style grape flavors. The smoother, more round, complex tannins of our Petit Verdot wine broaden the food pairing possibilities of this unique blend.

Love at first sight! A dark, full- bodied red wine yet crisp and sharp in color. Aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. Petit Verdot is a classic French Bordeaux style grape whose potential is being redefined by Virginia’s Southern Piedmont soil. Our rich, clay soils famous for growing some of the finest tobacco, coax dormant flavors from this grape. The wine is gently acidic with soft and balanced tannins. Our PV teases the palate with tones of Vanillin, dark chocolate, black cherry, cassis and even a hint of tobacco. The nose is lightly vanillin and fruity but also suggests aromatic hints of sandalwood and cedar, all of which is confirmed in the smooth finish. This classic style wine is great with fine steaks, pasta, or classic French cuisine, but bold enough to handle spicier Mexican food. If you want a special treat try this wine with some European style semi- sweet chocolate while relaxing by a cozy fireplace!!

This iconoclastic blend of the wonderfully aromatic and flowery Viognier with the complex, full bodied Petit Verdot creates a truly pleasant and versatile wine. Bright and clean, the Persimmon hues remind you of the warm soft glows of a summer sunset. The initial impression when smelling the wine is a hint of rose and nutty spice. Slightly citric with mild tones of apricot and pear, the Viognier is beautifully balanced with the more subdued and mature Petit Verdot. This 90/10 blend is lightly sweetened which allows all the mild fruit flavors to shine through without too much tannin. This wine is truly versatile. Great with seafood, traditional cheese platters, or fruit such as melon and pears. Serve chilled.

This Gewürztraminer hybrid produces a wonderfully spicy and aromatic amber colored grape. We slowly fermented this wine with oak at low temperatures. The wine has been aged in stainless steel tanks since the completion of fermentation. The resulting wine is aromatic, crisp and slightly acidic. The rose bouquet first noticed when smelling the wine slowly fades into a citrusy and spicy aroma reminiscent of kiwi or light grapefruit. Often made as an off-dry wine, we chose to keep our Traminette dry, crisp and bright. The result is a wine that pairs wonderfully with fish, fowl and other light fare. When chilled, it is a great pool-side, summer drink.

This grape is quickly making its mark in Virginia and giving Chardonnay a run for its money! The bouquet is floral and fruity. Our micro climate highlights a delicate orange blossom scent that occasionally drifts into a delicate wild rose. The color is a sharp, clean and crisp clear yellow mist. This wine is great as a stand alone refreshment but it really shines when it accompanies classic seafood delicacies. This wine is destined to be a perennial favorite.
