2007 Chardonnay
- Sad to see this gem go. Aging beautifully now and still teeming with fresh fruit. Barrel fermented and aged in French and Virginia oak. Malolactic fermentation mostly complete for a style very similar to Burgundy. Runner up in the 2009 Virginia Governor’s Cup Wine Competition and described as reminiscent to outrageously expensive Puligny-Montrachet (Burgundy). Drink within the next two years.
2008 Cabernet Franc – DuCard Vineyard
- Very aromatic, expressing quintessential northern Virginia terroir. Medium bodied with a rich garnet color. Smooth and refined tannins on the palate followed by a slight toasty finish. Complete malolactic fermentation and 12 months aging in French oak. 100% Cabernet Franc from DuCard vineyard in Madison Co. Age for up to 5 years.
