Expect a diverse table red from Virginia featuring a blend of Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Tannat. This versatile wine showcases the aromatic qualities of Cabernet Franc with lighter body compared to its more famous cousin, Cabernet Sauvignon. The Sauvignon Blanc adds a touch of herbaceous and citrus notes, typical of New Zealand's Marlborough region and France's Loire Valley. Merlot brings soft tannins and moderate acidity, making it approachable and popular in the American market. Petit Verdot contributes structure and color to the blend, while Tannat’s rich tannin and dark fruit characteristics are reminiscent of Madiran’s robust wines but also offer more maritime-influenced expressions with a touch of fruitiness. Each grape variety works harmoniously here, creating a balanced and complex red wine perfect for pairing with various dishes, from grilled meats to hearty stews.
