Governor's Cup Medals

We are pleased to announce both wines we entered in the Virginia Governor's Cup received medals! The 2008 "Celtico" Chambourcin won silver, and the 2008 "Cantabile" Cabernet Franc won bronze. "Celtico" is a blend of 85% Chambourcin, 10% Tannat, and 5% Petit Verdot. "Cantabile" is a blend of 86% Cabernet Franc, and 14% Petit Verdot. Both are notable in that they are the first two wines we made by ourselves here in our winery.

Many thanks to our winemaking consultant Doug Fabbioli for his continued guidance, as well as to Mark and Vicki Fedor of North Gate Vineyard, all of whom continue to win awards with their wines as well.
