Potomac Point 2009 Cabernet Franc (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
There’s something deep and soulful in the way that ripe, red fruit melds with charred wood and coconut macaroons on this supple yet robust Cab Franc. Blended with a dose of Tannat and Merlot, the finish is fairly long, ending on an earthy, fall foliage note.

Potomac Point 2009 Richland Reserve Heritage Red (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Pungent dark char amidst firm black plum on this Virginia Bordeaux blend brings to mind flavors of smoked meats and strong black coffee. Full bodied and masculine in profile, it’s quite tannic, yet concentrated enough to handle it well.

Potomac Point 2009 Richland Reserve Chardonnay (Virginia)
- $22
Sweet and fresh on the nose with a bouquet of apple blossoms and fresh tropical fruit, the Richland Reserve is a dry, full-bodied wine with a good dose of concentrated pineapple flavor. Vibrant acidity and a woody astringency help to keep the alcohol in balance.

Potomac Point 2008 Norton (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
Bold and chewy, with black cherry jam aromas and a flavorful palate framed by soft tannins. Some inviting spice elements poke through on the short-to-medium finish.

Potomac Point 2008 Cabernet Franc (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
A heavy layer of vanilla weighs down the fruit here, which runs to fresh cherries and cherry liqueur. It’s soft in the mouth, with soft tannins and a short-to-medium finish of mixed berries. Drink now.

Potomac Point 2008 Petit Verdot (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
A very berryish expression of Petit Verdot, with a charming nose but a somewhat tart palate built around intense blackberry flavor. This grape's famously aggressive tannins have been largely tamed here but a good steak would still be the perfect accompaniment. Drink now or let mellow for a year or two.

Potomac Point 2008 Richland Reserve Heritage Red (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This Bordeaux blend starts out with a disjointed vanilla note backed up by ripe black cherry fruit. It turns a tad sour in the mouth and ends on a short char note.
