Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Petit Verdot's flavor profile is bold and full-bodied. The palate is greeted by a burst of dark fruit flavors, often dominated by black cherry, black currant, and blackberry. Firm tannins provide structure, adding a slight grip to the wine and giving it the potential for aging. There's often a pleasing earthiness present, along with a hint of spice—think black pepper or clove—which adds depth to the overall taste.
Finish:
The finish is lingering and powerful, leaving a lasting impression of the wine's rich flavors and substantial tannins. Depending on the winemaking style, the finish can be either slightly herbal or even exhibit a touch of dark chocolate.
