Mark fell in love with wine while traveling for work.  Inspired, he went back to school, studying viticulture and oenology at Washington State University.  Mark worked his first harvest at Pamplin Family Winery, a boutique winery in Oregon specializing in Bordeaux style blends.

In 2014, Mark relocated to Virginia, where he interned at the Pearmund family of wineries and The Winery at Bull Run.  In 2015, he was hired as an assistant winemaker at the Pearmund locations, Pearmund Cellars, Vint Hill Craft Winery and Effingham Manor. In 2019, Mark was promoted to Executive Winemaker of all three locations.

Merlot-Cabernet Franc Blend

Comprised of Merlot, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon.  All grown in Virginia.   Aged 10 months in Virginia Oak barrels.

Meritage

One of Virginias great varietals.   When young, good  Cab Francs are full of cherry and flavors from the garden.  As they age, that garden becomes spicy and unique.

White

This wine was made in the French Sur lie style and aged 9 months in French oak barrels.

Red Blend

Our Premium wine. Black Cherry and Mocha flavors are present. A great wine to pair with grilled beef or seasoned pork.

Kings Ransom

On the nose: Dark fruit and Vanilla. On the Palate: Cola and sweet cherry. Its versatile flavor profile makes it able to pair with anything.

First planted in Virginia in the 90’s, Tannat is a rich, deep grape that provides elegant wines
perfect for the dinner table. 

Fortified

Port must be from Porto in Portugal. Our fortified dessert wine is Snort . For this edition of Snort, we used Petit Verdot grapes, aged for 2 years in oak.  Snort is the perfect accompaniment to dessert.


Snort

The quality of the 2019 vintage allowed to make our first ever wine that stood above all.   The nose has hints of violets, black currant, blueberry and tobacco.   The palate is luscious.  This is a well balanced wine with  a soft beginning,  sweet chocolate-covered cherry mid-palate, and vanilla on the finish.

Reserve

Rosé

Estate grown Chambourcin is used as the base for our Rosé. At .75% residual sugar, it’s perfectly balanced with bright acidity on the finish. 

Rose

From Meriwether Vineyard, Virginia's oldest and first Grand Cru designated vineyard on the East Coast.

White Blend

A blend of Traminette, Petit Manseng, Viognier, and Chardonnay making a sweeter wine perfect for a summer day.

Celebration

Brut

A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, and Pinot Meunier.
