Rappahannock Cellars

Walking up to Rappahannock Cellars

We concluded our day of wine tasting at Rappahannock Cellars.  Overall, we walked away unimpressed with the wines at Rappahannock Cellars.  They offered 7 wines to taste.  These wines included: 2012 Rose, 2013 Chardonnay-Viognier, 2012 Chardonnay, 2012 Noblesse Rouge,  2012 Cabernet Franc, 2011 Meritage, 2011 Red Dessert Wine ("Port").  We didn't enjoy either the white or red offerings.  We self-guided ourselves through the tasting experience and couldn't draw out the character presented on the tasting sheet.  The only wine that we agreed on liking was the 2011 Red Dessert Wine, which is made from Norton and fortified with Brandy.  Although, not offered by the winery to enhance the tasting experience, I highly recommend bringing a bit of chocolate to have when tasting this wine.
