This winery is emerging as one of the most interesting producers on the East Coast. The 1993 Cotes d'Orange, a 50% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah, and 5% Viognier (a white wine grape) blend, is a complex, rich, full-bodied wine that could easily be mistaken for a top notch Cotes du Rhone. Smoky and rich, with copious quantities of berry fruit as well as a voluptuous texture, it is loaded with character and personality. It can be drunk now and over the next 4-5 years. Unfortunately, only 134 cases were made. This intriguing wine indicates that some Rhone varietals can excel in selected micro-climates and terroirs of Virginia - an astonishing thought, and one that would make the legendary American President, Thomas Jefferson, proud!
