The Williamsburg Winery Gabriel Archer Reserve is a blend of Bordeaux varieties combined with the powerfully tannic and thick-skinned grape Tannat. After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and fermented in inert vessels with focus on heavy extraction to build tannins with the aim of creating a velvety wine. The wines are matured for a period in a combination of new and used French, American and Hungarian oak barrels to further round out the mouthfeel and contribute aromas of sweet spices.
