Idle Hour, Clarksburg (California) 2016

 Here is an unusual blend that, in the hands of a talented winemaker, makes for an unusually delicious red wine.  Petit Verdot is in the driver’s seat, showing its black fruit and floral character, with Tempranillo adding mid palate brightness.  The Petite Sirah adds structure and weight, but the wine remains light and pleasant from start to finish.  Nicely done!  Contains 40% Petit Verdot, 34% Tempranillo and 26% Petite Sirah.  Amazing label art by Tim Cantor!
