Winning the highest rating in red wines (93 points) at Beverage Testing Institute's World Wine Championship in 2009, Octagon 2005 is only the 8th Edition of Octagon to be released since its inception in 1996, for the winery's 20th Anniversary. The reserve of our Bordeaux Reserve barrels, the wine is dominated by Merlot and is blended with Cabernet Franc and\or Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, to represent the finest of the vintage in excellent growing seasons only. The graph, below, tracing the evolution in bottle of Octagon 2001 (Gold Medal at the Virginia Governor's Cup, Winner of the Monticello Cup and 7 other Gold Medals), is a reliable guide to the way this wine will knit itself together in other Editions. Far and away the most honored red wine produced in Virginia, every Edition of Octagon is a collector's item on the day it is released -- in the words of the Beverage Testing Institute's report on Octagon 2005, a "Cellar Selection."
