A new winery in Liden, Virginia

Elegant, smoky classic varietal Merlot from Virginia. A beautiful Garnet color and red currant nose.

Chatham Vineyards is owned and operated by the Wehner family at historic Chatham Farm which has been a working farm for four centuries.

This unfiltered, medium-bodied wine starts off with big fruity (black cherry) notes on the nose and palate and ends dry. A great pairing for lamb and hearty pasta dishes.

With grape tons of enthusiasm and some years of experience under their belts, two Virginia wine young professionals are bringing new life to North Gate Vineyards. 

Since they posted about their opening in March, I have wanted to check out Walsh Family Wine. Vacuuming and laundry were done early and off I went to the wilds of western Loudoun.

There’s a story about this place. It was North Gate Vineyards, but in 2018 the Walshes purchased it and set up shop. What they have done in a short period of time is pretty fantastic. The property is gorgeous, and they’ve created a nice spot to unwind and relax. Most importantly, the wine is good too.

Vibrant garnet color with nose of spice, cherry and well-seasoned oak. Lively black cherry and sultry spice flavors meld harmoniously with delicately-styled notes of dark chocolate, clove and coffee that resonate through the lengthy finish.

This signature Bordeaux style blend has a bright, “fun” and fruity nose, with lots of black cherry. The forward palate is fruity with a bit of leather, giving way to vanilla and a light smokiness on the finish. 33% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot.

Virginia Mountain Vineyards was established in the spring of 1998 but today we tend 5,625 vines covering more than 9.5 acres.
