Who knew petit Verdot could be so complex and delicious on its own! I love pv, but we blend it. A rich napa style red, thick and chewy, quite ripe, but still fresh, worked with lamb chops. Ripeness is very different than Matthews newer work, but still yummy and balanced.

Such a sure hand this winemaker has. I would try anything with his name on it.
