Drinking quite nicely but can cellar a few more years. Color is very dark purple, which is why Petit Verdot is a common blending grape. As a single variety, it’s a bit less common but seems to do well in VA.
Dark purple color, almost opaque. Notes of blackberry and vanilla, with leather and tobacco. Good balance between strong tannins and acid. Paired well with some hearty spaghetti and meatballs.
4 year old’s aroma notes: smells like grapes, roses, peaches, food, and wine.

This wine was given to me by the Northern Virginia AWS as a thank you for presenting a class. Very dark purple with olive and berry on the nose. Deep plum and berry on the palate with acidity and pepper on the finish.
