45% Petit Verdot, 39% Cabernet Franc and 16% Merlot

The most approachable of our red blends is crafted in a true Virginia Bordeaux style with this vintage being heavier in Petit Verdot and Cab Franc. This wine starts out with notes of ripe red cherry and cranberries, finishing with a slight vanilla note. The well-structured tannins and smooth acidity add a lot of layered complexity to the wine that make this one of the better versions of Mélange in recent memory.
