Seyve died, leaving no documentation of its parentage. It's a grape with a lot of color and an assertive flavor, different from other red varieties; It's not as heavy or robust as Cabernet or Merlot but not to be dismissed as a fabulous red! This is a robust wine, rich in purple color, and hearty tannins. Especially rich in the mouth, this wine sings as it offers up flavors of black cherry, spice and an insinuation of earthiness. Aged in French Oak. Pair with eggplant and red meats. 100% Chambourcin. Beware if you’re “not a red wine” drinker, you will be converted!

Per Bottle: $25.00 2006 Cabernet Franc The Cabernet Franc is a very well known French Bordeaux, one of the parent grapes to Cabernet Sauvignon (the other parent grape is Sauvignon Blanc). This is a bold red, somewhat spicy with hints of plum and violet. Often thought to take a back seat to cabernet Sauvignon, this Cab Franc is defiantly in the drivers seat. One taste is all you will need to understand why it is being said the Cab Franc may very well be one of Virginia's signature wines. 100% Cab Franc By the glass $7.00 Per Bottle $18.00

Enjoy sipping on the porch with your favorite cheese, or pair with lobster or any other shell fish. 100% Viognior By the glass $7.00 Per Bottle $17.00
2006 Riesling Riesling's homeland is Germany, where it has been cultivated since the 1400s. Considered hard to grow in Virginia because of its susceptibility to disease, this grape really needs to be pampered in the vineyard. From vineyard to bottle is truly a labor of love with this grape. One taste and you will understand why it is well worth the effort. With aromas of distinctive floral and green apple this Riesling mixes in its mineral elements from the vineyard very well to produce a racy white. Pairs well with spicy foods such as Tai and spicy sausages. By the glass $6.00 Per Bottle $14.00
