The latest vintage of our 100% varietal Merlot begins with subtle aromas of violets and black plums and a deep garnet color.

Lovingston Estate Reserve 2008
89 POINTS WINE ENTHUSIAST
Our proprietary blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc is at its best with this vintage. The 2008 vintage shows a ripe nose of cherries and blackberries. The tannin is pronounced but balanced, and the finish continues on for quite awhile. The nose continues to open to sweeter notes. This blend would stand up well to simple, unadulterated steaks and duck dishes. $19.95

Lovingston Rotunda Red 2009
Embodying our motto, “We bleed orange and blue, but we drink red,” this wine is a nod to the family's two generations of UVA alums. Our latest vintage is a deep magenta blend of mostly Merlot with a small portion of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. A slightly toasty oak nose couples with sweet cherry and purple plum aromatics that linger into the palate. Initially robust tannins soften into dark fruits, making this wine a compliment to steaks, portabella mushrooms, and other grilled dishes. $14.95
