Tannat is a newer variety for Virginia that was originally planted as a blending grape but has also found a home at a lot of wineries as a varietal wine. The 2017 vintage is a more brooding version than the 2015 and 2016 Tannat wines were. With abundant tannins and acidity that will allow this wine to age for a long time. Strong aromas of blackberries along with a spice note lead into the same flavor of blackberries along with dark chocolate finished off with a touch of baking spice. The wine is held together with great structure, ample acidity and a full body that finishes with a lot of length on the palate.
Petit Verdot is typically used for blending in most regions, but here in Virginia it has become one of the leading varietal wines and important to the identity of the region. Aging entirely in French oak brings a savoriness to our Petit Verdot that is intertwined with the black fruits and floral aromatics that are true to the variety. This fuller-bodied wine has ample but well-rounded tannins and bright acidity that highlight the blackberry and plum component, finishing with an earthiness of woodland underbrush and sage.
A full-bodied Bordeaux blend that gives way to aromas of raspberry and blueberry with baking spice. The well-integrated tannins, balanced by the acidity and abundant red fruit components make for an approachable, yet complex wine with a velvety mouthfeel.
PVT is a full-bodied wine with ample tannins and good acidity across the palate. Aromas of brambleberry and dried herb also come across on the palate along with black fruit, earthiness and baking spice. You will find the 2016 PVT more approachable after a few hours of decanting. This wine is built for the long haul and will age for at least 8-10 years easily. Only 6 barrels were produced.
