The Petit Verdit. paired with Heirloom Tomato Bisque, Basil Creme Fraiche and Parmesan Croutons.

On the nose; perfumed floral, fruits of; dark currants, blackberries, black raspberries, plum, dark cherries, black licorice, vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, light green pepper, sweet, rich dark earth and fresh & withering mixed dark floral bouquet.

The body is full, rich, elegant and smooth. The acidity of the soup plays well into the wine. The fruits are rich, lush and slightly candied. Blackberries, black raspberries, plum, dark cherries, black licorice, vanilla, caramel, dark chocolate, light green pepper, sweet, rich dark earth and fresh & bright, withering mixed dark floral bouquet. The finish well polished and lasts a full minute.

Photos of, a wide shot of the winery from the Silverado Trail, Heirloom Tomato Bisque, Basil Creme Fraiche and Parmesan Croutons, crystal artwork that decorates their cellar hallways and a side shot of the Estate with their logo windmill.

Nice tannins with subtle oak that’s not over powering.

I loved this wine. I normally stay in the cab family and this wine met that perfectly. A berry smooth finish!

More withdrawn then a Bordeaux. Earthy flavor and not too dry.
