Pollak
Pollak sits in Virginia's Monticello region, where piedmont elevation and continental climate shape wines of structure and balance. The winery produces a Reserve Merlot and Chardonnay that both achieve 92-point averages from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast. A Sauvignon Blanc rounds the portfolio at 90 points. The Reserve Merlot shows the depth characteristic of the variety in this terroir, while the Chardonnay captures the region's capacity for complexity. The Sauvignon Blanc delivers the varietal's signature aromatics and acidity. Pollak's focus on these core expressions reflects the Monticello appellation's strengths in both red and white wine production.
