Tasting Notes
This deep purple Petit Verdot, a rare and exceptional gem from the Walla Walla Valley, is utterly captivating. The nose greets you with a sumptuous bouquet of ripe black cherry, boysenberry, and blackberry, seamlessly intertwined with alluring hints of cocoa powder, clove, tobacco, and vanilla. On the palate, this wine reveals an impeccably plush, velvety texture, with round tannins that envelop the mouth with grace. The concentrated flavors of perfectly ripe red and blue fruits unfold in a symphony of richness, leading to an incredibly long, delicious finish. This is more than wine; it is an unforgettable experience. Enjoy!
