Impress 2017 Petit Verdot California

Description

This young Petit Verdot is a wonderful showcase of pure fruit expression and natural liveliness. The Petit Verdot grapes for the Impress benefitted from ample sunshine that allowed them to fully develop the varietal’s aromatic potential while still maintaining the natural tannins in the skins. This left us with a wine that full of deep, dark flavors of blueberry and violets offset by fleshy tannins. This wine shines with meats that are cooked on the rarer side, and the gamey secondary notes especially complement meats like pheasant, venison, or oxtail. Our experts say this is a bold wine made for bold flavors. We are sure that it will impress at your next dinner party. Judges love it too! It took home a Silver medal the 2018 Sommelier Challenge.
