Petit Verdot 2021

This single vineyard Petit Verdot from our Moon Curser Vineyard is a perfect example of Okanagan Petit Verdot. The 2021 vintage is full-bodied with a deep ruby colouring and inviting notes of cinnamon, rose petals, tobacco leaf and stewed cherry on the nose. The palate is ripe with notes complementing the nose; baking spices, cooked blackberry, walnut and chalk. The elements of oak aging are artfully woven throughout to provide rich tones of dark chocolate and cigar on the edges of the palate. The palate is rich with tannins and a fresh acidity that lengthens out the finish. This is an elegant and tannin driven wine. While fairly approachable now, this wine will definitely reward those who can set the bottle aside for several years. The wine will start to reveal its true potential by 2027, with beneficial aging continuing until at least 2033. Pairs beautifully with roasted pork, aged and smoked cheeses, and grilled tri-tip steak.
