Country: Spain / PV Petit Verdot
Variety: Petit Verdot Northern Spain
Winery: Abadia Retuerta / Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León
This is an interesting wine that offers a nice perfume but limited flavors and complexity. So what makes it so interesting, you ask? Well, the fact that it’s varietal Petit Verdot from the Duero River Valley, which is not common; that and the fact that it’s a mind-boggling $200. The wine itself shows a deep color, vanilla and cocoa flavors, and a range of dark-berry flavors. Elegant and provacative, it’s not.
