Annefield Vineyards 2009 Cabernet Franc
- Online Exclusive
- $29
This Virginia Cab Franc starts soft and ripe with loads of juicy black currant and berry flavors flecked with sweet, warm baking spices and cedar notes. A zesty kick of acidity on the midpalate and a flash of fresh, green herbs on the finish add elegance and balance.

Annefield Vineyards 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Aromas of espresso and burnt biscotti entice on this dark yet elegant Cab. On the palate, fresh violets linger amidst layers of ripe black fruit, smoke and char towards a stout, moderately tannic finish. Quite pleasant now, but could improve with 3–5 years of bottle aging.

Annefield Vineyards 2009 Viognier
- $26
Subtle on the nose with hints of pineapples, toast and vanilla, this dry, full-bodied Viognier is surprisingly refreshing on the palate with a wonderful core of fresh apple and pineapple flavors. Brisk lemony acidity and pleasant lemon pith astringency balance out the 13.8% abv. Drink now.

Annefield Vineyards 2010 Viognier
- $22
Notes of beeswax, orange oil and melon are accented with citrus pith and white flower subtleties. Medium to full bodied, this starts off lax, but a charge of acidity gives the midpalate a boost. Sip this alongside citrus-marinated grilled shrimp.

Annefield Vineyards 2009 Chardonnay
- $22
Pineapples and mangoes are tempered by notes of darkly toasted oak and roasted nuts on the nose of this Virginia Chard. Dry and full bodied in style, it boasts some nicely concentrated tropical fruit along with fresh, lemony acidity and some creamy, yogurt flavors. Lush on the tongue but ends on a woody, astringent note.

Annefield Vineyards 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon
- $26
A dominant feral aroma of sweaty saddle leather overlays the core of dark stone fruit. Medium to full bodied, this has appetizing acids that juice up the salient black-tea and black cherry flavors. Astringent and dry on the finish, this should pair well with juicy steaks and sautéed mushrooms.

Annefield Vineyards 2008 Red
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Intensely aromatic on the nose with scents of dried herbs, bramble and pulpy, overripe fruit, this dry, medium-bodied Virginia red is surprisingly fresh on the palate with bright sour cherry flavors. There are some green, vegetal notes throughout, but lively acidity helps to keep it fresh and clean.

Annefield Vineyards 2010 Cabernet Franc
- Online Exclusive
- $24
Faint scents of berry, spice, char and toast gain aromatic volume with air. Tart acids and ample tannins support the slender dark-fruit and creosote flavors.
