Estate grown, whole cluster cold fermentation, aged in tanks, unoaked.  A pale-yellow blend with light tropical fruit and spicy aromas.  A dry light-bodied wine with balanced acidity, a refreshing wine.

The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc was picked later in the season than the 2019, producing a medium-bodied wine.  Pale-yellow with tropical fruit flavors and smooth acidity, a nice lingering finish.

This wine has good weight and delivers a fresh, mouth-watering acidity making the wine a fine food accompaniment as well.  This fullness of flavor lingers into a long, fresh and enjoyable finish.

First vintage offered to the public, picked late with Sauvignon Blanc.  Estate grown, cold fermentation, aged in tank, unoaked.  Similar characteristics to 2020 Sauvignon Blanc but adds perfume and weight to the final blend.

This variety has consistently expressed a slate or nice “wet rock” aroma.  Hints of fresh orange and lemon zest, Spring-time flowers, pear, almond.  Good palate weight with a crisp-apple acidity and a balanced structure.  The fruit carries into the palate and through to a clean lingering finish.

This rosé shows aromas of red bramble fruits, raspberry, and strawberry. On the palate there are hints of strawberry, black cherry; soft tannins help structure the wine and support a nice lingering finish.

Best Rosé, 2021 Loudoun County Wine Awards

A blend of six Boxwood varieties, all estate grown.  Sauvignon Blanc added to balance wine and increase aromas.  Each variety bled separately and cool fermented with tailored yeasts.  Crisp acidity, soft tannins, and full-bodied, with refreshing finish.

87 Points, Wine Advocate

On the palate full-bodied with bright acidity and a light astringency giving the wine “backbone”.  Soft red berry fruits carry through to a nice lingering finish with maybe a slight sensation of sweetness, though the wine is bone dry.

Aromas of cherry, earth and oak. On the front palate bright cherry fruit with star anise and baking spice on the lingering finish. Medium body.

Estate grown fruit with Cabernet Franc predominant, harvested late.  Fermented separately by variety and clone.  Aged 12-14 months in French oak barrels before final blend.  A medium bodied wine with a lingering finish, classic right bank Bordeaux style blend.

NEW RELEASE

Black cherries and plums dominate the aroma and the flavor profiles, assisted by a smooth palate and a hint of licorice on the finish. Mouth filling fruit flavors and supple tannins are nicely integrated into the wine giving it good structure and texture. The fruit flavors linger well beyond the last swallow.

Estate grown fruit with Merlot predominant and first picked.  Fermentations separately by variety and clones.  Aged in French barrels 12-15 months.  Dark color, plummy fruit, and soft tannins produce a lingering finish.

NEW RELEASE

This wine suggests aromas of black fruits such as blackberries, black cherry, and currant. One may sense a bit of vanilla and fig. These sensations also carry through to the palate where ripe, light tannins help give the wine a soft velvety mouthfeel. The wine maintains a black bramble fruit finish, with even a hint of dark chocolate, that lingers nicely.   

NEW RELEASE

Cabernet Sauvignon provides the backbone to this beautiful blend, while Merlot contributes to the smooth mouthfeel. Together they shine with a complex cocoa nose, black raspberry and cassis fruit flavors, with a hint of vanilla and light tobacco. The drying finish hints of the years to come as the wine develops and improves with age.

Choice estate grown fruit, whole berries fermented by variety and clones.  Aged 12-15 months in 1-4 year old French oak barrels before final blend.   A unique complexity of Boxwood's finest red wines in 2019.  Smooth texture, mature tannins and supple fruit.

NEW RELEASE

This wine begins with a blueberry note on the nose, quickly followed by black cherries and plums. Hints of black pepper and licorice complement the fruit flavors. Caramel and vanilla combine for a smooth palate and the mellow tannins and acidity add a lingering finish. This young wine should mature 5-15 years.
