A Fish That Climbs Ladders

We were in the Charlottesville area with some friends and we decided to take them by Pollak Vineyards, a winery fast becoming a favorite of ours. Yes, we did just review these guys, but we got to try two new wines. First was the ’08 cab franc. This is a really dark, rich, sexy wine, with cherry and pepper all over it. I could see it aging well, but I would also drink the heck out of it right now.

We also got to check out the ’08 petit verdot. This was a big, fruit-forward wine with a little earthiness as well and a long finish. Of course we tasted the rest of the offerings, but you’ve already heard from us on that.

The important point of this post is that yes, this fish can climb a ladder- one more awesome tasting experience here and Pollak may just make it into the Treehouse of Virginia Wine Awesomeness!
