AUG/SEPT 2025 Club Release: Bold Expressions, Familiar Roots with Two NEW Red Wines
As summer begins to yield to the golden light of early fall, we’re proud to share two bold, expressive red wines that reflect the richness of the season and the character of our land. This club release is for the sunset watchers, the harvest table gatherers, and the firepit storytellers—for those who know that wine tastes best when shared with good people and good conversation.
NEW Cabernet Franc:
Cabernet Franc has always held a special place in Virginia’s wine landscape—and in our hearts. Our latest release shows why. Elegant and lifted, with aromas of black cherry, violet, and cracked pepper, this medium-bodied red offers layers of red currant, plum, and a touch of cedar on the palate. The tannins are refined and smooth, giving it enough structure to pair beautifully with grilled meats or aged cheeses, yet soft enough to enjoy on its own. A cool hint of herbal spice lingers on the finish, making it a perfect transitional wine as the nights grow cooler and longer.
NEW Virginia Select Red:
This bold, balanced blend of 50% Chambourcin, 37% Petit Verdot, and 13% Cabernet Franc is a celebration of both innovation and tradition. Each varietal contributes something special: Chambourcin brings juicy, dark berry fruit and a hint of spice; Petit Verdot adds deep color, structure, and floral aromatics; and Cabernet Franc ties it all together with elegance and lift. The result is a wine that’s both approachable and complex, with notes of blackberry, plum, baking spice, and mocha unfolding into a smooth, lingering finish. It’s a versatile companion for everything from smoky barbecue to quiet evenings with a good book.
Pick-Up and Tasting Room Updates
Both wines will be available beginning Saturday, August 2 for club pick-up. Stop by the tasting room for a complimentary tasting and a bit of summer cheer—we’d love to hear what you think of these new additions.
