About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

James River Cellars 2008 Merlot


Name: James River Cellars 2008 Merlot

Variety: Merlot
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2008
Price: $18
Shop Review: MEDAL WINNER!  Medium bodied, smooth with a big cherry nose, round tannins.
My Review: This Merlot is dark ruby in color.  It has an aroma of spices, more specifically black better, and is slightly oaky.  Its flavor initially has a bite to it, but it is a good kind of bite.  It is spicy with good balance, dark fruits, blackberry and slightly oaky.
