2006 Petit Verdot
|
|
Petit Verdot is a finicky little grape packed with a lot of power. As usual it was the last to ripen during the 2006 harvest and only took one day to pick. Petit Verdot contributes a beautiful deep color and black fruit flavor to our Lake William blend. Also, a small amount of the crop was bottled 100% varietal in 375ml bottles. This provides you a unique tasting experience of a varietal not commonly seen unblended. This Petit Verdot has a rich eggplant color, with flavors of blackberry, plum, allspice and clove. Essence of spicy vanilla, from aging twenty-three months in new French Nevers oak, contributes to a smooth and long finish. We suggest enjoying this wine now through 2011. |
