Tasting Notes
Our inaugural Petit Verdot can’t be accused of being meek or
demure. Memorably intense, from the velvety purple hue to the
richly textured aromatics and flavors, this wine is a definite
keeper in the Peterson line-up.
Enticing aromas of dark berry and plum mingle with hints of cedar,
violet and minerals. A smooth entry and spicy mouthfeel showcase
the luscious, concentrated flavors. Opulent berry, currant, dark
cherry and plum fuse with subtle forest floor, mineral essence,
white pepper, cocoa, tobacco and violets.
The firm structure and layers of flavors make this wine an
excellent cellar candidate. If you can’t wait to drink it, decant
it a few hours before enjoying. Try it with lamb stew, a juicy
buffalo tenderloin or slice of chocolate decadence.
