2011 vintage—this was quite good after an hour in the decanter. Still rich and juicy bit the PV gives the flavors a twist. Thanks Big D!

This Petit Verdot is a great example of the Black Wine trend, chewy with darkly bright tannins and espresso flavors.

Pepper and strawberry jam flavors abound, with a cherry and red bell pepper finish. A lighter take on the darkest grape!

A little excess acidity mars an otherwise superlative wine.

The darkest grape, this PV packs a powerful punch, with the intensity of a ruby port.

Chocolaty, rough dry finish, fruity to start and smells like cherries mixed with tomatoes
