  Dipping my toes into Petit Verdot.  I know 2012 Napa Valley was a stellar  vintage! Between that,  and this bottle,  I'm SOLD! Beautiful inky purple, medium body,  really nicely balanced fruit, tannin and acidity.  Still fairly fruit forward, tannins softened nicely late 2021. Blueberries, plum, mulberry, violets,  sweet pipe tobacco and a touch of allspice.  Both hubby and I agree on this one, (doesn't happen often!),
  its just plain YUMMY! All the way to the bottom to the of the bottle. Was amazing with ribeye streaks,  stuffed mushrooms and baked potatoes.

  A nice big wine, just what you want from a Petite Verdot, I expected this to stand up against barbecued ribs and it certainly did hold its own. Blueberry fruit, solid but not overwhelming acid, earth and lots of spice...a pretty nice combo.

  Other Pine Ridge petit verdot vintages are better. This one is a little confused, the elements aren’t working well enough together.
