August 2024 Discoverer’s Club Release
2020 Barrel-Fermented Chardonnay
This barrel-fermented Chardonnay was made from grapes that were grown at various Virginia vineyards. It was made in the Old-World French style with neutral oak but no malolactic fermentation. It has notes of white flowers and banana on the nose that carry over to the palate, along with lime and white peach, and a silky mouthfeel that is crisp on the finish.
2022 Piedmont Station
Sourced with grapes from our estate and Springlot Vineyards, this Left Bank Bordeaux-style blend leads with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and Merlot, and 10% Petit Verdot. With an incredible ruby color and notes of plum, blackcurrant and violet flowers on the nose, this wine follows through with flavors of blackberry, vanilla, and dark chocolate. A perfect pairing with heartier meals such as steak and potatoes or shepherd’s pie, this wine goes excellently with dinner date nights and elevated dinner parties.
2021 Duet
The 2021 Duet is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon that received 5% new French oak. This wine opens with beautiful aromas of cranberry, pomegranate, and forest floor leading into flavors of bright red fruit and cedar.
2021 Piedmont Station
This Bordeaux-style blend is 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc, 17% Petit Verdot, and 6% Merlot. It shows a beautiful ruby color in the glass, while on the nose this blend offers baking spice aromas of allspice and clove layered over plum and blackberry. On the palate, blackberry notes are buttressed by a hint of vanilla and cedar
2022 Cabernet Franc
Made with 100% Cabernet Franc, this wine has a distinct nose of pomegranate, earth, and clove, which makes way for a spectacular palate of black cherry, cedar, pepper, and cigar box. This is an excellent wine by itself but pairs with pasta and marinara, grilled pork or beef, hard cheeses, and olive tapenade. Perfect for both casual and refined dinners or a relaxing glass after a long day.
