Wine: Chateau Le Cabin Raspberry Wine



Review: A great wine for a hot day. This is one of Horton Vineyard's new fruit wines. It is 91% Raspberry and 9% Cabernet Franc. The wine is sweet and makes a good dessert wine, or a standalone wine but it lacks body and is a little lightweight for my taste.

Price: $10

Grade: 85

Wine: Fabbioli Cellars 2005 Raspberry Merlot





Review: My review for this excellent wine is below, but I love the bottle and wanted to show it off...note the spelling of "Raspberry".

Wine: Jefferson Vineyards 2003 Monticello Meritage



Review: This is the last of the Virginia Meritages (at least that I am aware of, please email me if you know of others that have not been reviewed here). The blend is 60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Merlot and the Cabernet Franc really complement each other in this complex wine. The Merlot provides a solid base, while the Cabernet Franc adds a rich flavor. Overall, this is an excellent wine and a good addition to the Virginia Meritage family.

Price: $25

Grade: 90
