Jarvis Petit Verdot 2004

It only takes one day to harvest our small plot of Petit Verdot; and this year as usual it was our last varietal to ripen. Petit Verdot contributes a beautiful deep color and black fruit flavors to our Lake William blend. Also a small amount of the crop was bottled 100% varietal in 375ml bottles. This provides you a unique tasting experience of a varietal not commonly seen unblended. This Petit Verdot has a rich eggplant color, with flavors of blackberry, plum, all spice and clove. Essence of spicy vanilla, from aging two years in new French Nevers oak, contributes to a smooth and long finish. We suggest enjoying this wine now through 2008.
