The wine displays high acidity, lending brightness and vibrancy to the palate, while the powerful tannins provide a structured backbone that promises a great aging potential. Fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark berries and blackcurrant with subtle undertones of dark chocolate and spice that create a captivating sensory experience. As it unfolds, the wine reveals a beautifully balanced profile, making it a joy to savor alone or paired with hearty dishes.

Virginia

Virginia, with its rich historical heritage and varied landscapes, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions on the East Coast. Spanning from the Atlantic coastline to the Appalachian Mountains, Virginia's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) encompass a wide array of terroirs. The cool breezes from the Atlantic and the higher elevations of the mountains play a major role in moderating Virginia's vineyards, providing a balanced climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the coastal and mountainous regions, producing elegant and nuanced wines, while further inland, the warmer valleys support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This range of conditions allows Virginia to produce a wide variety of wine styles, reflective of its unique and diverse growing regions.
