King Family Vineyards Mountain Plains Red 2016 Review
Damn ,this is how I like my big, full bodied, Bordeaux inspired, higher alcohol oaked red blends. That it’s all these things, and extremely balanced, is such a success. It sets into your palate like a comfy duvet with blackberry fruit and black pepper, and a tight tannic framework. This wine will cost you some pennies, but it is a great wine to see how structured Virginia wine can age (it’ll go for another 10 years, easy). It’s only available on the winery’s site, but is worth your e-commerce time online.
