New York Cork Report

    (Jamesport Vineyards Petit Verdot Reserve North Fork of Long Island) Brooding, dense black fruit aromas dominate the nose -- black currant, blackberries and blueberries -- with black licorice, vanilla and black pepper accents. Despite gobs of similar sweet black fruit and ripe tannins on the palate, there is nice acidity that keeps it surprisingly nimble on the palate. Those dark fruit flavors are layered with notes dark roast coffee, Good n Plenty candy, blueberry skins, vanilla and orange peel. As I've found in many of the petit verdots I've tasted -- out of barrel or in finished wines like this one -- there is a big initial burst of flavor that fades a bit more quickly than I'd like.
