Tasting Notes
This deep purple Petit Verdot from the 2022 vintage is a striking expression of the Walla Walla Valley. The nose opens with generous aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, lifted by vibrant red fruit tones of raspberry and currant. Subtle layers of cocoa, clove, and tobacco add intrigue, while a delicate touch of vanilla rounds out the bouquet. On the palate, the wine is plush and polished, with velvety tannins that frame the abundance of red and black fruit flavors. Concentrated yet graceful, the wine builds in richness toward a long, seamless finish that lingers with energy and elegance. Enjoy!
