Winery Review: The 2011 Grayson Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark ruby color with a rich nose of red cherries, raspberries, and hints of black pepper. This intense Cabernet is full of artful fruit, provides a round mouth feel, and a soft lingering finish of toasted French oak.
Personal Review: Our house "go-to" table wine. My wife identified this wine at the Roanoke Fresh Market at a tasting. I find this wine to have a mellow, but very present nose of black cherry and perhaps blackberries. My favorite part of enjoying this wine is the very mellow finish--definitely hints of oak as described by the winery. Have had this wine alone, with cheese, and with a variety of meats. I think that cheese especially compliments and accentuates the smooth finish.
