NOTE: THERE IS A ONE-BOTTLE PER CUSTOMER LIMIT ON THIS WINE.
The Old World and New World Virginia come together in a sensual embrace that is the 2010 Gabriel Archer. A beautifully balanced wine offering layers of blackberry, raspberry, currants, figs, dates, plums, and prunes. Embraced in these layers of fruit are some cocoa, truffles, olives and a bit of leather/suede which enhances the fruit aspect. There is also a floral character that sneaks into the embrace contributing to the many layers. The tannins and oak are wonderfully integrated and offer a long finish. Additionally on the finish there is a sweet fruit sensation that carries the weight of the wine beautifully. This is my favorite Gabriel Archer to date.
Aged in French, American and Hungarian Oak.
