Recently we went to Boxwood Winery with some wine friends to participate in the Trellis Vertical Tasting that was being held that weekend. It had been a few years since we’d been there so we were looking forward to seeing how the wines had developed.

The Trellis tasting consisted of the 2014, the 2015, the 2016 and the 2018. The consensus of our group decided the 2015 was our favorite. We loved the color and the cherry, raspberry, plum and pepper notes. We noted the mild tannins and smooth finish. We were not fans of the 2014. There was just something that didn’t taste right. Maybe we got a bad sample.

After the Trellis tasting we enjoyed a flight of wines with a delicious cheese and cracker tray. We enjoyed all the wines on the flight but particularly enjoyed the 2019 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2019 Rosé. The weather was perfect for enjoying these wines.

We had a really nice time at Boxwood and want to thank all the tasting associates for their help and guidance during the tastings. Before leaving we stocked up on our favorite Boxwood wines. If you haven’t been to Boxwood lately, time to get back and taste their current line up. And if you do, tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you!
