Tasting - Barboursville Brut Cuvee 1814

Name: Barboursville Brut Cuvee 1814
Variety: 100% Pinot Noir
Region: Orange County, Virginia
Country: USA
Year: NV
Price: $25

Winery Review: A collaboration with our founder’s Tenuta Il Bosco estate in Oltrepò Pavese, this sparkling wine is created in the metodo classico and is 100% Pinot Noir of DOCG designation. Our winemaker developed this wine in collaboration with his counterpart in Italy and in consultation with Nicolas Seconde, from Champagne. Ideal for celebrations as well as for fine companionship with dining, the Cuvée 1814 honors the date of Thomas Jefferson’s design for Governor Barbour’s landmark mansion at our estate, a Virginia historic landmark.

My Review:
It was fruity on the nose. Even though it was a white wine it had the typical smell of a red wine possibly owing to the fact it was made from Pinot Noir. It was really dry. I didn’t get a lot of flavors from the wine. It was just okay and nothing I would go back to.
