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.

Napa Valley of the East. Big, bold, delicious. Virginia knows Petit Verdot.

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

Easily one of the best wines from '11 to come out of Virginia. Delicious and smooth. Berries and pepper on the nose; dark fruits and espresso on the palate.
