One of the wines from Virginia that is popular with Wine-Searcher users. The popularity of this wine has increased considerably over the past year.
Critic tasting note: (1998 vintage) "A medium-weight, herbaceous style, best served around cellar temperature. Uncluttered by a lot of new oak, it's a sappy, red-fruit quaffer ideal to accompany light summertime fare. Gulp it down like you would a good Beaujolais." - Wine Enthusiast
