2019 Pine Ridge Vineyards Petit Verdot

Deep and full-bodied, Petit Verdot is a big wine with a little name! Known for adding color and structure to Bordeaux blends, it is not often found as a single variety bottling.
This wine is anything but “petit” with heady aromas of acai, vanilla, toasted oak, pencil lead and dried blueberry. The wine evolves in the mouth with a core of blackberry, vanilla, ground coffee, powerful, and brusque, blueberry juice with peppery tannin. A big juicy entry is balanced by powerful, lingering tannins which resolve in a finish of chocolate-covered berries, tobacco, and ground coffee. This wine can easily age 8-12 years and will shine with duck rillettes or beef bourguignon or roasted mushrooms atop cheesy polenta. Enjoy now through 2034.
