King Family Vineyards Roseland White Blend 2018 Review

Peaches and pears flecked with ginger open the nose of this wine. With a swirl some beeswax and wet flint rock emerge along with tropical fruits (mango?) and the minty sweet perception of acacia. The palate is rich, but balanced by bracing acidity, promoting a hint of petroleum which rounds out the complexity. This is a great white wine and it’s time to give Virginia its due.
