Steven Kent 2007 Ghielmetti Vineyard Petite Verdot (Livermore Valley)

Country: US / Ghielmetti Vineyard
Variety: Petite Verdot California
Winery: Steven Kent / Livermore Valley

A good wine, not a great one, that shows why Petit Verdot on its own is hard to make into a complete wine, although from a marketing point of view, it has a certain tale to tell. Midnight dark in color, bone dry and big in tannins, it has flavors of blackberries, blueberries and oak.
