2024 Petit Verdot

 

Tasting

This Petit Verdot from Dionysus Vineyard in Washington’s White Bluffs AVA is a bold, opulent expression of site and varietal. It opens with a heady nose of violet and lilac, layered over a core of roasted Italian plum that drives the palate with richness and depth. French oak aging adds luxurious notes of caramel, vanilla, and roasted nuts, while undertones of coffee, dark chocolate, and warm spice lend complexity and length. The wine’s structure is firm yet polished, with velvety tannins and a lingering finish that speaks to the vineyard’s sun-drenched slopes and meticulous farming. A showpiece for Petit Verdot—dense, aromatic, and unforgettable.
