* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Hints of freshly pressed apples and pears in a darkly toasted oak barrel come through. Deft use of new French oak results in a full-bodied wine with a lush, buttered toast richness that highlights sweet apple and lemon flavors. The finish is clean and lemony with a slight saline touch.

On the nose, this charming wine is aromatic, with pretty lemon and orange blossoms mingled with darkly toasted oak and butter notes. Dry and full bodied with a rich, creamy mouthfeel, floral notes and a soft salinity on the finish keep the broad palate from verging toward flabbiness.

While gorgeously floral on the nose with notes of roses, fresh grapefruit and lychees, the palate on this dry, medium-bodied Traminette lacks intensity. There’s some lime and lychee flavors, but little concentration or depth.

Ceylon tea, fresh pineapple and tangerines perfume this off-dry blend of predominantly Vidal, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier grapes. Simple yet fresh, with pretty white floral and peach notes, this wine would be a lovely companion to lemongrass accented Thai and Vietnamese dishes.

Medium-bodied and supple in texture, this dark and brambly Virginian Merlot offers plenty of black fruit and warm, savory spices. Aged in a combination of American and Hungarian oak, there’s a slightly reedy, wooden note and high-toned acidity on the finish.

Fresh, appley and floral with a touch of tangy yogurt cream, this is an approachable yet elegant Virginia pick. Delicate apple and pear flavors shine through on this full-bodied wine with fresh acidity, supple texture and balanced alcohol.
