Barboursville Vineyards 2014 Octagon Red (Virginia)

Country: US / Octagon
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Virginia
Winery: Barboursville Vineyards / Virginia

The nose of this Bordeaux-style blend is laden with blackberry, violets, clove and eucalyptus. The round palate doles out similar complexity, with additions of bramble berries and forest floor tones. The tannins are smooth and toasty, which translates onto the long and dry finish.
