This Petit Verdot was sourced from the Dionysus vineyard. The wine begins with aromas of black olive, blackberry and sagebrush. Somewhat shut down aromatically for the first hour and needing a long decant to unwind. Currently displaying deep flavors of blackberry, mocha, green olive and an intense herbal character. The wine is highly tannic and need some time in the bottle right now, so try to resist for another year. One of the best bottlings of this varietal that I have seen from Washington.
