Nose

concentrated flavors of ripe plum, blueberry and blackberry, hints of violet and notes of expresso, tanned leather, and black pepper.

Palate

Rich and full-bodied with overtones of spicy vanilla from aging in French oak barrels, the wine’s supple tannin structure allows for early drinking, though it could easily handle 2-3 years of cellaring.

Aging

20 months in 100% French Oak

Appearance

This is a deep purple-colored wine

Food Pairing

Petit Verdot is a good match for grilled steak, pork tenderloin, sausages and aged, hard cheeses such as Parmesan or Asiago.
