Dark purple in the glass, densely gothic aromas of black plums, red currants, and wild blueberries front additional notes of pipe tobacco, loam, graphite, violets, and pink peppercorns indicative of grapes grown in the cool climate of the Coombsville AVA. The palate is rich with ripe fruits, as black cherries, figs, and plums dance effortlessly with lovely tones of crushed granite and sage. The wine expands effortlessly in the mouth with continually evolving notes of spiced fruits and dusty minerals, all leading to a complex finish full of elegant tannins backed by a fresh acidity. The wine possesses a beautiful balance of both power and restraint, harnessing the true varietal character of Petit Verdot.
