Age has helped mellow the acidity. P. Verdot is a varietal with a short palate for me. Cedar, tar, tart-cherry candy. Drinks well, could still age.

Velvety full-bodied richly colored red - almost a surprise for a Cabernet. Sweet aroma (grapes and sugared berries) and great taste.

Sempre Vive Petit Verdot is delicious. The dark fruits burst on the palette and the finish stays with you. Highly recommend for special occasions or just to forget about 2020!

A first for me to taste a 100% petit Verdot. Many layers to the wine which evolves a lot from the attack to the mid layers in the palate. Versatile. A bit tannic for the 2014 vintage
