Barboursville Vineyards Octagon 2020

James Suckling 93 Points
Attractive deep garnet color, elegant aromas of blueberry, black currant, fresh flowers and dry herbs, the structure expresses medium body, silky tannins and a cool, refined finish. Drinkable now, yet with a long future and evolution in the mouthfeel and aromatic profile . It is very reminiscent of the stellar Octagon 2009 from a vintage considered by many Virginia winemakers as “the perfect one”.Merlot 62%, Cabernet Franc 34%, Petit Verdot 4%
