Inkblot Lodi Petit Verdot

Inky and staining. Big, tannins and alc. Dried leather and coffee.

👍👍 Another impressive offering from Michael David. Nice, peppery finish to help balance the big fruit flavor and sweetness. Explosion of flavors in your mouth. Great tannins. Good acidity.

Excellent acidity, black fruit and red berry. Huge wine. Great by itself but would make steak even better. Picking up black pepper big time.

Very good. Dark and bitter only right when you expect it.

The nose is rich and luxurious. Cassis and sweet, ripe blueberries stride abreast with sweet oak spice. Vanilla, cedar, and a little bit of mocha come through robustly, but they keep their place alongside the fruit and don’t try to steal the show. On the palate, this wine means business. It’s a luscious drink, but it’s too powerful to be relegated to an easy chair. It wants to work, and what it wants to work on is beef fat. You can enjoy this wine all by itself - if tannins are your thing - but you need to pair it with a thick, marbled piece of steak to really set it free.The dark fruit flavors really do play a secondary role to the tannic structure.

Inky.

Dark black fruits, wet cigar box, black pepper everywhere on the nose. Acid is there, tannins prevalent but not overwhelming. Delicious wine.

Deep purple in color; black plums, blackberries, wood smoke, and violets (I think) on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like black cherries, cardamom, wet slate and potpourri with a long finish. I love this wine.

So big and bold but fruity nonetheless. Loved it with a steak.

Dark, leathery, delicious. Highly recommended and would drink again any time.
