Cuda Ridge Wines
Livermore Valley Petit Verdot
Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose with cherries, plums, blueberries, black currants, vanilla, spices, cedar, earth, light vegetables, chocolates, mocha, tobacco, peppercorn and light alcohol.
Full-bodied and bold with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, cherries, raspberries, leather, smoke, vegetables, vanilla, earth, tobacco, cola, oak, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, vinaigrette and peppercorn. Very nice complexity.
Medium plus on the finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.
This is a very enjoyable Petit Verdot from California. Brings in a great mouthfeel with nice complexity and the tangy finish makes it interesting.
Has a lot of alcohol so watch out as it is very easy drinking.
Needs 30 minutes of airtime to open up properly and remove some of the acidity. Will age nicely in the next 5 years.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with cheeses, nuts and olives.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$38.
