Our Montdomaine 2008
Viognier was produced from exceptionally ripe grapes. On presentation, one is struck by the intensity of its bouquet. It fairly
leaps out of the glass! A fresh, floral, and slightly citric flavor develops in mid-tasting. But it is in the finish
that this wine really takes flight. We think the wine shows nuances of apricot. A very exceptional white wine.

Montdomaine 2009 Chardonnay, released in the spring
of 2010, comes from old vines. The vineyard is, in fact, the oldest continuously producing vinifera vineyard in the Monticello
AVA. Utilizing old French Oak cooperage, the oaking is minimal, allowing interesting citrus effects. May we quote the elegant
Jefferson Hotel in Richmond: "The Montdomaine Chardonnay is a single-vineyard wine crafted by Virginia's foremost winemaker,
Michael Shaps. It shows Virginia's wine industry is among the country's best in producing classic European varietals." Retail price: $ 25.00 Internet Special: $ 20.00
The
2008 Montdomaine Merlot represents the re-appearance of the celebrated Mondomaine brand after an absence of over 15 years.

style. It has an exceptional bouquet with a finish of herbs, dried cherries and chocolate nuances. Retail: $ 25.00 Internet Special: $ 20.00 .
