Early Mountain Vineyards
About
Jean and Steve Case (AOL co-founder) revitalised this estate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, hiring Maya Hood White as winemaker. Her elegant, restrained approach to Bordeaux varieties and Petit Manseng has established Early Mountain as a flagship for Virginia wine. The spacious tasting room with mountain views and wood-fired kitchen is exceptional.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
Virginia's most polished wine experience with Blue Ridge Mountain views, a wood-fired kitchen, and wines that silence East Coast wine skeptics.
