A favorite among wineries in Virginia. Cabernet Franc is a grape that really showcases Virginia's unique climate and soil conditions. On our estate, we find that we have soils that are optimal for growing spicy, fruit-forward Cabernet. This vintage boasts aromas of maraschino cherries, nutmeg, cocoa powder, and a hint of smoke.

Our Merlot shows the best of our terroir with aromas of black cherry, baking spices, dark cocoa powder, and almonds, making it an instant palate pleaser. Flavors of bold blackberry an dried fruit compliment its velvet-smooth tannins.

 Freshness and tropicality are always the defining characteristics of the Zephyr blend. The 2017 vintage continues its course driven by Riesling and Chardonnay, the predominant varietals in this blend. Intense candied fruit aromatics recall notes of honeydew, granny smith apple and pear. On the palate the wine is wonderfully focused, with a keen line of acidity lending structure and definition.
