2020 WIT Cellars Petit Verdot
The feast of reason and the flow of soul brought us to the Yakima Valley Appelation to source Petit Verdot of exceptional quality, from Olsen Vineyards. Olsen's Petit Verdot grapes are characterized by depth and breadth. This Petit Verdot stands alone, but is often used, as the bones in world class blends. Intense flavors of cherry and berries combine with firm tannins and inky blackness taht will stain your soul.
Winemaker notes: Petit Verdot can lend a whole lot to a blend, as it tends to be very big and bold. However, we prefer to show off this varietal as a standalond. You are in for a treat with this complex dark beauty. Aromas of violet and juicy fruit including plum, and stewed blueberries greet you on the nose. Palate pleasing flavors of bramble berries, blackberry and blueberry jam. A beautifully intense wine with a lengthy finish, leaving behind notes of cedar, cigar box and barbecued meat.
This Petit Verdot is sourced from Olsen Vineyards Block 23, located high on the Roza, North of Benton City. This Vineyard is ideally located, witha South facing slope and high elevation, to maximize sun exposure and air drainage.
