Country: US / Clarke Vineyard
Variety: Petit Verdot Washington
Winery: College Cellars / Walla Walla Valley (WA)
It’s rare to see a varietal bottle of Petit Verdot come out of this appellation, let alone a single vineyard offering but this one clearly deserves it. The aromas of flowers, soil, green herbs and purple fruit are light and brooding and lead to full but in balance black-fruit flavors. A lengthy finish caps it off.
