Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Though a bit lead-footed, this Chard throws up some nice cream, honey and clove aromas. While the palate is swamped with vanilla, nice baked apple flavors come through on the finish before fading to a popcorn note.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Bordeaux blend is juicy and inviting, with notes of tropical nuts and caramel over a base of plum fruit. The palate is crisp and berryish, winding down to a short vanilla finish. Drink up.

Rappahannock Cellars Meritage - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Some initial notes of paint thinner and rubber blow off to reveal an intriguing mix of blueberry, vanilla and mocha on the nose. It’s dense and sculpted in the mouth but turns a tad sour at the back of the mouth and ends on a note of dry tannin. A year or two in the cellar may help bring some harmony to this rather disparate wine.

Opens with sweet cherry and raspberry fruit but turns noticeably crisp in the mouth while some nice gamy notes appear on the silky finish. An ideal pairing for roast suckling pig.
