title: Barboursville Vineyards 2009 Octagon Red (Virginia)
description: This Octagon is dark and charred smelling, with aromas of blackberry, cocoa, savory spice and cherry. The palate is tight yet finessed, bearing vigorous yet manageable tannins that should eventually fade with time to reveal a charming wine. Flavors of graphite, fines herbes and coffee grounds add interest to the finish.
variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend
