Petit Verdot 2021
In Stock
Our 2021 Petit Verdot is a beautiful example of why we love this grape so much. We age this wine in both new and neutral French oak barrels to enhance its complexity, bringing out its rich aromas of fennel, graphite, and violet, while highlighting flavors of cola nut and plum. Its finish is dry, with medium plus acid and tannins. This lovely wine pairs well with rich meat dishes, spicy foods, and a variety of hard and semi-soft cheeses.
Nose: fennel, graphite, violet, lavender
Palate: cola nut, plum, dill, green olive
Finish: medium plus acid, medium plus tannins, fine tannin texture
