Petit Verdot isn’t often produced as a 100 percent varietal wine, though the results can be stunning when it is. This is a beauty from Eagle Eye, with impressive depth and richness. Ripe aromas of cassis, black currant and blackberry, with a note of graphite that adds complexity to the nose. Beautifully integrated tannins. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
