Petit Verdot 2020

This single vineyard wine is a quintessential varietal Petit Verdot. The 2020 vintage is full-bodied, with a deep purple colouring and flavours and aromas to match. Inviting delicate notes of lilac, lavender, rose and eucalyptus dominate the nose. The palate is ripe with notes complementing the nose; cedar, nutmeg, fig and graphite. The elements of oak aging are artfully woven throughout to provide rich tones of dark chocolate and truffle on the edges of the palate. The palate is rich with tannins and a bright acidity that lengthens out the finish. This is an elegant and tannin driven wine. While fairly approachable now, this wine will definitely reward those who can set the bottle aside for several years. The wine will start to reveal its true potential after three to five years of cellaring (by 2027), with beneficial aging continuing for an additional five years (ten years in total after bottling).
