Very good wine, acidic and high tannins. Not as bold on the dark fruit but decent enough for a grape of this kind from VA.

Beast of the East vs. Best of the West….taste off
VA Monticello Petit Verdot against a Cali Napa Valley Cab.
Pairing: American Wagyu Strip, Home Fries, Mushroom Ron Zacapa 23 glaze.
As much as I love my Napa Cabs, the edge went to the PV. 93 - 92.

Full body. Dark color and a deep nose. Silky in the mouth with light tannins and nice acidity. Smooth finish. Good fruit and complexity.
