Estate 1856, Sonoma County (California) Petit Verdot 2012

Jun 5, 2015

By Rich Cook

A nose full of roses with blackberry undercurrents draws you into this expressive, inky Petit Verdot.  The palate focuses on blackberry and sweet oak spice flavors and a firm tanninc structure that suggest pairing with a prime rib of beef or fresh venison steaks.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2015 Critics Challenge International Wine Competition
