Country: US / Virginia
Variety: Merlot
Winery: Lovingston / Josie’s Knoll
This is a pretty eastern U.S. Merlot, with its subtle, nuanced flavors of red berry, plum and currant and its approachable, soft tannins. Virginia is showing its talent for growing reds and this is a good example of what can be done with good vineyard management and winemaking.
