Friday night pizza and movie wine, and it's perfect! Good acidity, solid tannin, well-balanced for just over 14% alcohol. I'm loving NW wines from 2013!

Dense and savory with black fruits, musk, spice, leather. Loads of tannin and high acidity but enough fruit to carry the structure.

A good amount of violet lavender floral notes. Very forward with coco and spice notes. A good amount of raspberry and blueberry fruit a bit of tannins on the finish but has lots of juicy fruit and notes if spice. Finish 45+ excellent+

Very nice right now. Berry nose, hint of chocolate and something else I can’t put my finger on. Well rounded for a Petit Verdot, nice and smooth once open for a bit. Nicely done.

Opened another bottle and gave it a long hard decant. She really opens up on the nose. If you like Petit Verdot this is a great example from Walla Walla.

I like it. It's different. Can't quite put into words how. Definitely needed decanting.

Funky with dark fruit. Decent acidity with clean round tannins.

My BIL introduced me to this -Petit Verdot is a first for me. Lovely wine! Great start, middle and finish. Definitely recommend for those who enjoy medium-bodied wines (although let's be honest - tastes more full-bodied to me)!

Had this wine with herb crusted lamb chops and it was over the top spectacular.
