This is probably still a year or two too young to reach its peak. This is a big wine dry wine with nice tannins. It isn't a big fruit forward wine, though I think the fruit is very pleasant.

Coravin taste. Chocolate covered cherries and floral hints on the nose. Dark cherries, chocolate and soil were detected upon tasting with more tannins than expected after the softer nose. Tasted side by side with another 2010 Washington Petit Verdot (Gorman F.O.G.), and this was the least subtle of the two. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.

It's a big boy and bold with a lot of fruit flavor.

Dark cherries, a little chocolate, lighter body than I remembered.
