Perky Petit Verdot 2023

A smoldering, dark, pure mouthful of rare Petit Verdot, an intensely bold, fruity-yet-floral, red wine.

Bold and richly structured, with deep dark fruit, hints of violet, and a velvety, lingering finish Perky maintains the intense, powerful character typical of Petit Verdot. . . more >

This unique wine is produced as a single-vineyard Petit Verdot.

Perky shows a rich and opulent aroma with dark berry, violet, and subtle spice notes. On the palate Perky is full-bodied and structured, while showing a deep color and firm tannins all the which project elegance and a plush fruitiness. Then comes Perky's finish, long, layered, and velvety, with hints of dark chocolate and baking spice.

Perky pairs well with spicy foods and it is a natural fit for rich meat dishes such as grilled steak, spicy pork, veal, lamb and all types of game and sausage. Naturally it is also perfect with hard and semi hard cheeses.

A great wine to cellar. You should keep Perky stored well for at least three years before opening, decant it when you do and only share it with people you love.

A difficult grape to grow, this rare variety is typically the last harvested, sometimes as much as two weeks after Cabernet Sauvignon. Characteristically Petit Verdot has high acidity and a light aromatic character. We have coaxed from this pure Petit Verdot a dark garnet color with a hint of banana brulee, violet and leather on the nose.

French Oak for 22 months, approximately 45% new, 45% one use and the balance neutral.
