Virginia wine legend Michael Shaps brings his trademark Burgundian influence to this 2023 expression. The grapes are from the famous Honah Lee Vineyard in the Monticello AVA, sitting at around 1,200 feet of elevation. The wine is savoury and well structured. He was the first to bring a bone-dry take to the grape in the state. Subtle citrus zest and dried herbs on the nose, leading into a weighted palate. The acidity is integrated rather than sharp, and the wine feels expertly dialed-in. A more cerebral version than others in the state.
