Our first bottling of Petit Verdot is opaque turning deep ruby at the rim.  Aromas of coffee, violets, raspberry crème fraiche, and toffee are abundant.  Wonderfully floral as it opens, more aromas of pencil lead, leather and berry compote come into the picture.  First sip reveals red and blue berries, mocha, black currant and banana.  Plenty of stuffing to lie down for a decade, or decant and enjoyed in its youth.

Deep ruby in color, our Right Bank inspired blend offers a sweet nose of raspberry and blackberry preserves, damp earth, cigar box, and chalk.  With time black cherry, kirsch, and cinnamon emerge.  Quite dense and velvety on the palate, this is a wine packed with red fruit, licorice, and cherry pipe tobacco.  Very complex and hedonistic, this wine delivers on so many levels.     

Blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc
