Tasting Notes
Our 2019 Block 144 Petit Verdot opens with floral aromas of dried roses, lilac, and rosemary giving way to a finish of black cherry and plum sauce. The palate is rich with notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut, ripe blackberries, and finishing with grippy tannins and a hint of allspice, vanilla, and cranberry preserves.
