Tasting Notes
This 2020 Petit Verdot displays a deep, inky purple core with garnet edges that hint at its three years of careful maturation. The nose opens with rich aromas of baked cherry and dark dates, complemented by elegant vanilla and butterscotch notes from the oak aging, with subtle herbaceous hints of rosemary. On the palate, concentrated flavors of ripe raspberries and cherry compote meld seamlessly with warm butterscotch and vanilla undertones, while the wine's full body showcases the varietal's characteristic intensity. The finish is remarkably smooth despite the wine's power, with gentle spice notes and lingering oak that provide structure without overwhelming the fruit.
Food Pairings
