Winery's Review:
Our 2008 Petit Verdot invited with traces of vanilla emerging from rich, dark fruit aromas. Wild berries and raisin flavors mingle with savory nuances of black pepper and toast, all wrapped in robust, velvety tannins. Mocha joins the berry character through the long finish.
My Review:
This was the first Petit Verdot I have ever had, and I thought it was very good. It was very bold, yet very smooth and silky on the palate. It had very strong tastes of raspberry and blackberry jams, with light hints of vanilla in taste. On the nose however, this wine showed much of its dark berry character mixed with a tiny bit of sweetness.
I did not try this wine with food.
