"Hidden" in the upper reaches of Virginia near the West Virginia border, this small lot winery produces, in my mind, one of the best Chambourcins I've tasted in the state... and I've tasted a lot of them. What they do differently, which I believe helps this Virginia staple varietal, is the blending of Petit Verdot (20%). It gives it body, structure, and nice, silky tannins. This Chambourcin exhibits an inky, garnet color with notes of plum and cinnamon on the nose and flavored with cinnamon, earth, and black pepper. It is well worth the $22 and can seriously hold its own against its varietal competitors in Virginia and beyond.
