Petit Verdot
Current Vintage: 2022
“This Petit Verdot is beautifully perfumed, showing concentrated black fruit, dark rose petals and cassis notes. Big and broad on a dense, dark, well-oaked palate with firm tannins and a chewy texture. Finishes long with a sense of slate like minerals. Made with a significant portion of clone 1058, which contributes elegance to the wine.” International Wine Review
Style: Dark | Bold | Brilliant
Composition: 100% Petit Verdot
Aromatics: Layered and expressive nose led by dark fruit notes of plum, blackberry, and cassis. Subtle floral tones of violet mingle with a touch of earthiness. Hints of spice and cedar emerge with time in the glass.
Palate: Elegant yet richly textured and full-bodied, with a generous core of dark fruit — plum, cassis, blackberry, and blueberry — supported by vanilla, dark chocolate, and oak. Polished tannins give structure without heaviness; balanced acidity lends freshness through a lasting finish.
