Tasting Notes
This Library Edition Petit Verdot displays a deep, inky purple-black core with garnet edges that hint at its development. The nose opens with enticing aromas of baked cherry compote, Medjool dates, and wild raspberries, layered with vanilla bean, cedar spice, and subtle violet florals. On the palate, the wine is rich and full-bodied yet remarkably smooth, revealing concentrated dark fruit flavors complemented by warm baking spices, cocoa, and a touch of Mediterranean herbs. The finish is long and elegant, with fine-grained tannins and lingering notes of dark chocolate and sweet tobacco.
Food Pairings
