The 2019 Petit Verdot from the Curtis Vineyard is rich, quite dark in color, with very tight and deep tannins. Mostly black fruit flavors are distinctly noticeable - ranging from plum, blackberry, and blueberry to slightly lighter black cherry. Intriguing herbal and floral notes of violets, lilac, sage and dried herbs add complexity. The 20% new oak brings in a wonderful hazelnut and mocha accent as well, which adds a sweet note to the long finish.
