•Petit Verdot
•2009
•$26.95
•The Vintage Cellar says: "Becoming one of Virginia's rising stars, Petit Verdot is well suited for the Virginia climate and soil. A small lot of production of a very dark aromatic red, this wine has wonderful spice and floral notes. The color is reflective of the concentration of flavors. Having been in French oak for eighteen months, the wine is rich, with bold tannins, a lot of structure and depth. This is a young wine that has aging potential."
•It gave off a perfume-y smell that wasn't too strong. I could detect an underrated sweetness. It had a bite. It was dry (not as dry as the previous wine). I got a hint of raspberry flavor.
•I did not have this with food.
