What struck me the most about this wine was the big tannins and oak. Don’t worry, you won’t miss them. The tannins smack you right in the face followed by a nice shot of oak.

We don’t see a lot of petit verdot in this area. It’s a grape most often used in blends and does add tannins.

While certainly not a sipper this wine pairs well with beef.

This unusual blend is very nice and is worth a try.
