Chateau Morrisette 2008 Petit Verdot

Name- Chateau Morrisette Petite Verdot

Variety- Petit Verdot Varietal

Country- United States

Region- Virginia

Year- 2008

Price- $19.99

Winemaker's notes- This Petit Verdot has a bold aroma of currants, influenced by strawberry, pepper and herbs. Upon tasting, the spicy front palate fades into a smooth finish, infused with traces of raspberry, raisin, and oak. The texture is enhanced by a smooth, velvety tannic structure. Pair this wine with rare steaks, lamb, hearty beef dishes, and sharp cheeses.

My review- Now this is my kind of wine. Tobacco box nose with a slight hint of berry and pepper. Initial taste is very stout. I got tastes of oak, little bit of the berry flavor, and also smokey hints. This is the kind of wine that will put lead in your pencil. I really enjoyed it and that is why I bought a bottle. Very solid wine.
