$98.00Price
Madison, Virginia, 2017 (750 ml)
Tasting Notes: On the nose, the fruits are deep and dark with Damson plum and wild blackberries accented by mint, cedar and wood spice. On the palate the flavors echo the aromas; structured and layered with ample and persistent tannin.
The Rise blend from Early Mountain Vineyards was made to highlight the great potential of Virginia wines in foreign markets, and it does just that. Reminiscent of a high-end Bordeaux blend, the wine finds a balance between great power and elegance.Lay this one down, and years from now you can open it and show off one of the bottles that launched Virginia Wine into the fine wine sphere.
