Tasting
Notes: A wonderful find for the price, there's
no question why this wine is sweeping competitions across the East Coast.
Its earthy nose gives a sense of its origin, leading to the surprise
of full, forward, fresh fruit on the palate. A raw, wild and bohemian
wine - what else would you expect from a Virginian winemaker? (Date
tasted 11/5/00)

Profile:
Yes, Virginia, you do make some fine wines. And near the top of the
state's achievers would have to be this little winery from Roanoke.
Run by the husband-and-wife team of Jim and Debra Vascik, both the
winery's granite soil-grown Syrah and Götterdämmerung, the Cheval
Blanc-style blend, have quickly become benchmark wines for the East
Coast.
