Reviews of Virginia Wineries

The bright and beautiful characteristics of pure Cabernet Franc shine in this Bourgueil-style wine. Fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel, this wine exhibits a floral nose, red fruits, and fresh sweet herbs.

Black Bear is a red wine blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Tannat that is a complement to our Shenandoah white wine. Both celebrate the treasure that is our National Park that borders us just out our back lawns. 

This lively and bright Bordeaux blend showcases aromas of fresh cherries and uplifting herbal notes. The mouthfeel is harmonious, vibrant, and fresh – pairing perfectly with your Sunday brunch and light fare. Cheers!

Aged for 10 months in French oak, Virginia’s native grape exhibits notes of dried fruit and baking spices. Norton’s bold intensity pairs well with rich, fatty meats like duck or brisket and always chocolate!

Violet, dried fruit, spice 

A welcoming bouquet and well-structured palate highlight this premium red wine blend with notes of sweet spices, herbal scents, and dark fruit with lingering tannins on the finish. This exquisite wine is made only in the best growing seasons. 

Sold Out. The estate grown Petit Verdot exhibits notes of black plum, coffee, and tobacco with a lingering velvety mouthfeel. Pairs well with lamb.

A blend of three varietals from our three Madison County sites, this premium wine is made only in the best vintages and should be decanted to reveal its full character and complexity. Bold, balanced, and structured, we recommend laying down for up to 10 years. 2026 Virginia Governor's Cup Gold Medal wine. 

Magnolia Vineyards’ 2021 Petit Verdot is a bold yet smooth red with cranberry, plum, and leather notes. It pairs perfectly with hearty dishes like steak, lamb, or rich pasta.
