Kerr Cellars
Sage Ridge Vineyard Petit Verdot
Napa Valley, California, USA
@delectable This is their Petit Verdot
They have t made a Petit Verdot since 2018.
100% PV is tricky to make. Generally more of a structure grape for Bordeaux blends. But Helen has does a nice job here. It will require 5 plus yrs to round out but nice.
Dusty medium M+ tannins. Core of dark currents, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries & raspberries. Scorched earth, dark spice w/ palate heat, dry soils w/ leaves, herbs, clay, dry crushed rocks, gorgeous slightly candied, florals that are dark, red, blue with violets, nice acidity and a very balanced, well toned/structured, elegant finish that lasts two-minutes and long sets on earth & spice.
This will pick up a point or two with time.
