  Three days in the Okanagan Valley; 6/18/2011-6/20/2011 (British Columbia, Canada): I was very excited to try this as I love 100% Petit Verdot, and you don't see it too often. Unfortunately, this didn't quite deliver, and also didn't deliver too much typicity for what I'm used to in PV. This just tasted like any international Bordeaux style blend. The aromas here were incredibly light, which is quite the opposite of what I'm used to in PV. It is delicious, but not very explosive. The palate is very soft and creamy, and tannins begin getting intense as its held in the mouth. Overall though, the palate is quite soft, and not much in the way of complexity or flavor delineation. I do get this strange crab shell flavor, though. The finish is nice and spicy, but quite mild. Pretty light stuff.
