Beautiful rich wine. Touch of pepper in the finish. Black cherry overtones. A wine worth the price by a long shot

The 52% Petit Verdot comes from Matchbook’s Dunnigan Hills estate vineyard, the 24% Cabernet Sauvignon is taken mostly from Sonoma County’s Chalk Hills area, while the 24% Merlot hails from Lake County. Production was 2,878 cases, the wine hits an alcohol mark of
13.8% abv and retail pricing is $22.
The nose is big and fruity, with a dark, spicy smoke on it. A fruit-forward palate follows, with notes of sage, anise, coffee and a bit of graphite. Nice tannic grip means fire up the grill, and the finish sings of blackberry and nutmeg.

A really nice blend for the price point. Great taste up front, mellows a little on the back end.
