I just dropped my youngest off at UVA and decided to re-visit this iconic Virginia winery on the drive home. I had a great time tasting through their offerings and my hostess was most gracious and fun. I ended up purchasing some of their Philleo dessert wine- delicious and reasonably priced. I previously tasted their 2007 Malvaxia so another bottle was secured to do a follow-on tasting in addition to the current release, which is now called Paxxito from the 2019 vintage. Should be interesting. Two vintages of the top-level Octagon are also going to be tasted in the near future, such a silky and delicious ageworthy red blend, I can’t wait. If you’re ever in the central Virginia area or have a free day in the Metro DC suburbs- it’s only a 2 hour drive to visit one of the finest wineries in the Commonwealth. Salut….
