RDV Vineyards – RDV 2010 – Lost Mountain – Virginia

A powerful wine, concentrated and rich enough. The nose is reminiscent of black fruits, violet and crushed strawberry associated with woody / spicy notes and slight notes of chocolate. The palate is dense, rich, mineral, concentrated, with clear and well defined fruity aromas. It expresses a small freshness, notes of plum, blackberry, fig, ripe fleshy dark fruit / and always crushed strawberry. This is combined with slight spices, toasted notes but the fruit remains dominant. There is a small acid frame that leads the tasting and boost mouth. The tannins are well made but now really too young / firm I suggest you wait at least 3 or 4 years. The finish is long and fruity.
