Attractive deep garnet color, elegant aromas of blueberry, black currant, fresh flowers and dry herbs, the structure expresses medium body, silky tannins and a cool, refined finish. Drinkable now, yet with a long future and evolution in the mouthfeel and aromatic profile . It is very reminiscent of the stellar Octagon 2009 from a vintage considered by many Virginia winemakers as “the perfect one”.

Smoke, dark cherries, plums, plush spices, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of chocolate. Firm and caressing, with ripe, juicy fruit and structured tannins. Tightly wound finish of good length. Merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.

Octagon is multifaceted in expression...The nose and palate evokes cherry, red and black plum, violet, and dried rose petal. Clove and cinnamon marry a briny finish. The wine needs time to become cohesive. The finish is long. Hold for another five to ten years or decant upon opening.
