A light bodied, and delicate Cabernet, with a touch of oak on the finish.
This wine is fully
barrel aged for 6-9 months in American and French Barrels. Cabernet Sauvignon
is blended with Merlot to soften the wine as well as add complexity. Soft
tannins make this offering readily accessible, as an accompaniment to fowl,
grilled meats, and richer pasta dishes.
The Arundell family arrived in Virginia in the early 17th century, and settled
on the peninsula between the James and York rivers, at “Buck Roe”
in the precinct of Elizabeth City (modern day Buckroe in Hampton, Va.) John
Arundel inherited the property from his father Peter, and leased-out two parcels
of fifty acres for the purpose of growing grapes.
One parcel
was leased to one Elias La Guard “Vignerone”. The second parcel
was leased to Mr. James Bonall “Gentleman of London”, whose farm
manager David Poole “Vignerone of the country of France”, actually
lived on the property and we surmise, grew grapes. It is not known what degree
of success, if any, these gentlemen enjoyed with this early Viticultural endeavor.
