The vintage is 2016, though the label doesn’t indicate that. Round and soft texture, yet it’s fresh and vivid. Full body. Lots of spicy, meat and plum character with some currants. Flavorful finish. Drink now.\"\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e- James Suckling (October 2018), 93 pts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word;\"\u003e\"This nonvintage wine is a collaboration between 16 Virginia wineries. Dark plum aromas are dense on the nose and aided by black pepper and cocoa tones. It’s plush in feel, with black olive, tobacco and clove flavors. A warm finish with spicy oak and well-integrated tannins is smooth and attractive. —C.D.\"\u003cbr style=\"\"\u003e- Wine Enthusiast (November 2018), 90 pts - BEST OF YEAR\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pearmund Cellars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948974731311,"sku":"VA0EE897073BRL","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/virginias_heritage_hq_label.jpg?v=1771486473","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/pearmund-cellars-virginias-heritage-nv","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
