  Deep purplish ruby red in appearance. Layered nose with some feminine notes of white pepper, violets, damp leaves and blue plums. Balanced acidity with medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. A bit of damp herbs, violets, red berries and damp earthiness on the palate. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2022.

  Interesting to sample this varietal on its own, pleased the surprised crowd, still young, not sure where it will go, a bit closed off, but worth trying if you've not had the chance to taste a pure Verdot. Not sure this has changed at all since last year. My last of the 09- have a few of the 2011 and I think I will leave those for another 4 years or so.

  Very well built wine, served in a blind tasting. We wanted to do a tasting that included one wine each representing the typical Bordeaux varietals and this led off, followed by a montelena 07 cab franc, a Cavas Crianza Malbec, and a pahlmeyer merlot and cab( granted the latter two have a little blend). We also poured a montelena petit sirah as a ringer as the wine that didn't belong. We had never poured a petit Verdot before -only ones we have are from pahlmeyer through allocation. A very good wine, will be interesting to see how it evolves, clearly in the US this grape can produce an interesting and delicious wine.
