2024 GOVERNOR'S CUP WINNER
2019 Meritage
Top wine in Virginia · Virginia Governor's Cup, 2024
“Developing aromas of dried herbs, tobacco leaf, dark fruits, and oak spice. On the palate, a lively acidity balances the wine’s willowy but firm tannins. Rich concentration and a long finish.”

🏆 Governor's Cup Winner 🥇 Gold
“A complex nose of bright red fruit, violets, and dried rose petals laced with delicate notes of saffron, vanilla and spice. The palate is bright and youthful, with a focused structure and layered flavors of cherry and raspberry alongside oak spice and tar. The tannic structure and acidity follow through the finish. Aged 18 months in French oak.”
