2014 Kenneth Volk Petit Verdot

There is a reason Petit Verdot is used as a blending grape to add deep color, tannin, and structure to Bordeaux blends. Thanks to Kenneth Volk for offering this - a rare chance to try PV on its own. Deep color and tannic even after 10 years. Hard to pick out specific fruits. Lack complexity and depth. Good with fat burger.

Holding up very well. Very fruit forward (dark cherry, cassis , blackberry). Well balanced - acidity supporting fruit. What’s missing? Nuance and complexity. For around $15 this is a very good wine.

My first experience with Nerollo Mascalese wine. Sicilian wines have come a long way and this one is a terrific find and PQR is great. Heavier side of medium body, moderated fruit and tannins with good acidity that helps with structure. I expect it will show better with food including antipasti.
