GOLD MEDAL- Shenandoah Cup 2024
This wine is staying true to repeated consistancy and gold medals. On the two vintages we have had on this very young vine, we have produced 2 gold medals.
Silver Medal in the Alantic Seaboard Compeition only 2 months in the bottle. Headed for greatness like its previous vintage.
Marquette 2023
This wine was reviewd by world renowned wine critic Julia Harding and below are her tasting notes: Score 16 (superior) for the sold out vintage of 2022. Below is her review.
The current 2023 is even better.
Full bottle 1,140 g. This is the first time I have tasted Marquette, a complex hybrid created in 1989 in Minnesota. Aged 9 months in French oak. Lightish cherry red and vibrant cherry and strawberry fruit on the nose. Just slightly herbal and delicately floral – nicely so. Light-bodied with lively red fruits and very gentle tannins. Fresh and refreshing. A really nice surprise with no really obvious hybrid notes except perhaps at the very end when there is something strawberry like. Excellent freshness on the finish. Juicy and mouth-watering. (JH
