Tight nose opens to feature hints of plum and other
dark stone fruits. Upon the palate, this wine widens to include blackberry
and raspberry
tones, leading to a hint of anise on the finish. Slightly lighter
body and delicate
tannins follow a more Italian winemaking tradition and are indicative
of the 2002 harvest. Enjoy with braised or grilled beef or lamb.

through the mid-palate leading to a soft and silky finish with
undertones of cocoa.

a
graceful Merlot. The firm structure of the wine enables

Historically used as a blending grape, the Petit
Verdot produces full-bodied wines with intense deep garnet color. One
is greeted by the distinctive
aromas of tobacco with a hint of plum. The tobacco
carries
through the mid-palate, enhanced by layers of raspberry
and mellow pepper
unfolding within the rich,
supple texture. Don't let historical precedence of
a bold blending wine.
The elegance of the mid-palate leads you to hints
of cherry and a gentle, pleasing tannic finish. Although it can be
cellared for five
to eight
years, this wine is definitely drinkable now
