    		 We moved our family's winery from California to the northern Piedmont region of Virginia. We are located at the foot of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains where we are able to grow world class grapes. We invite you to come meet our family, knowledgeable staff, and sample our award winning wines.

    		2009 Noblesse Rouge
  • Appellation: Virginia
  • Blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon,
  • Winemaker: Jason Burrus
  • Our first release of this label since 2005. This is an easy drinking Bordeaux style blend. Lots of black fruit aromas followed by subtle spice, oak, and vanilla. This is repeated on the palate and accompanied by a soft and supple texture. Mostly Cabernet Franc and blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Pouring nice now and will age well through 2015.
