Jefferson Vineyards 2009 Meritage
- Editors' Choice
- $30
This blend offers brooding scents of asphalt, black fruit, vanilla and mocha. The texture of the palate is notable for its elegance and deceptive fullness. Penetrating notes of blueberry and dark chocolate linger on the finish.

Jefferson Vineyards NV Cabernet Franc (Monticello)
- $22
Notes of strawberry and red cherry surface on the nose, followed by touches of beeswax, dill and exotic spice. This is a medium-bodied wine with enough tannins to lend structural support. The finish bears delicate cinnamon and herbal-tea flavors that linger with some astringency.

Jefferson Vineyards 2010 Cabernet Franc (Monticello)
- $22
A green, leafy streak threads through the primary dried-strawberry aroma, showing solid Cabernet Franc typicity. This is a medium-bodied wine, with flexible tannins and balanced acids. Notes of black tea and earth give the flavor profile dimension.

Jefferson Vineyards 2011 Rsv. Chardonnay
- $20
A step up from Jefferson’s regular bottling, this offers medium-intense aromas of white orchard fruit, wet wool and mineral, plus a subtle nuttiness. Light to medium bodied, it has a zesty midpalate, with flavors that mirror the nose.

Jefferson Vineyards 2002 Estate Reserve Red (Monticello)
- $30
Tart and crisp, yet with surprisingly supple tannins. Intense tobacco and herb notes alongside red plum flavors in this medium-weight blend of 50% Merlot, 22% Petit Verdot, 18% Tannat and 10% Malbec.

Jefferson Vineyards 2011 Pinot Gris
- Online Exclusive
- $16
White balsamic and beeswax notes pop against the backdrop of white fruit and bitter papaya seed. Medium to full in body, the palate starts out a bit flat, but the acids become more prominent as the wine progresses to the finish, ultimately ending with a tangy, minerally kick.

Jefferson Vineyards 2011 Chardonnay (Monticello)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A subdued note of vanilla cake adds dimension to the broad, white-fruit-driven nose. Medium in body, this easygoing wine feels a bit loose on entrance, finishing with a subtle mineral hint.

Jefferson Vineyards 2002 Signature Meritage (Monticello)
- $24
Nicely structured, but where’s the fruit? Despite a rich, dark color, the flavors are of tobacco, earth and menthol. Drying tannins on the finish.
