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 2010 Rad Red


Name: James River Cellars 2010 Rad Red

Variety: Cabernet Franc, Merlot
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $15
Shop Review: Blend of Cab Franc and Merlot grape varietals, smooth in character, soft in tannins and acids with berry tones.  Portion of proceeds are donated to the Massey Cancer Center.
My Review: This blend spent about 4-6 months in oak and is ruby in color.  It has strong pepper, blackberry and dark cherry aromas. It has soft tannins and a great balance.  There is a slightly oaky flavor with a hint of blackberries.
