2022 Noble Celebration III
Bordeaux blend, with all 5 noble red grapes (Cab Sauv, Cab Franc, Merlot from CA, Malbec & Petit Verdot from MD). Notes of plum, dark cherry and vanilla. Aged 22 months in neutral French barrels, then blended to produce a full-bodied, complex and perfectly balanced wine, this version is lighter, fruit forward, and less tannic than Noble II. Pairs well with red meat and hard cheeses.
2020 Identity Crisis
After a 3-year hiatus, it is BACK! Made from Chardonnay grapes, aged in new whiskey barrels for 3 years, and sweetened, this unique wine looks like honey, smells like whiskey, and tastes very smooth and sweet, with notes of oak, vanilla and caramel. Best served chilled, you can drink it in a wine glass or a rocks glass. 40 cases produced.
Blend of 70% Sangiovese, 25% Cab Sauv & 5% Merlot, this full bodied wine has aromas of red licorice and strawberry, with subtle hints of cranberry, vanilla and smoke. This wine is best consumed while it is still young and has balanced acidity and tannins. Pairs perfectly with pasta and almost medium to bold cheeses
100% Maryland grown grapes
30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 20% Petit Verdot, 10% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Tasting Notes
Old Line Red is a classic, old world, Bordeaux French blend. This blend uses only our premium vinifera varieties. This is the first year we added Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon to the blend. This dry, full-body red has aromas of black cherry and dried tobacco (from the time spent in oak barrels), with smooth tannins, and a silky finish.
Petit Verdot is one of the five classic Bordeaux varietals, known for its deep color and rich dark fruit flavors. Our 2021 Petit Verdot is true to style displaying classic blueberry and mulberry aromas with a hint of grilled spices. On the palate, well-integrated tannins mix well with the fruit, giving a layered complexity of flavor and a pleasant lingering finish. This is a special wine for us and one we have wanted to produce for some time. Production is limited to 100 cases.
In the early 1720’s, Dodon’s estate was planted with Oronoco- a heavily scented variety of tobacco, favored by continental Europeans. Oronoco is the name of Dodon’s Cabernet Sauvignon-led Collector’s wine, reflecting the tobacco-like aromatics typical in this grape variety.
Variety: 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc.
Vinification: Hand harvested, destemmed and sorted, free run juice fermented in stainless steel tanks with pump overs, 30-day maceration, and aged for 21 months French oak
