2019 Amalfi Petit Verdot

I was fortunate to work with some amazing Petit Verdot from Amalfi Vineyard located on the eastern edge of Los Olivos planted by the original owner of Stag Canyon and farmed by the talented Buona Terra-Belfy team. Very rocky soils give this site incredible backbone and structure. Fermented using native yeast and aged for 36 months in seasoned French and American oak prior to bottling.

Tasting Notes:

Deep, dark, rocking nose of dark plum, blackberry, boysenberry, with brooding aromas of blue smoke, graphite, blueberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Singing flavors of plum, blackberry, and dark cherry, lead to a rich core packed with dark chocolate, graphite, leather, and violet. The finish is like a ripping guitar solo with taught, grippy tannins that last.
