YOUR RESULTS for "Petit Verdot"

"Another delicious wine, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon is a terrific example of the year. Creamy and beautifully layered on the palate, the 2013 captures all of the pedigree of this great vintage in a style that offers a bit more immediacy than many other wines. Best of all, the Cabernet Sauvignon is a remarkable value. Bright red stone fruit, mint, white flowers and tobacco add nuance on the silky yet powerful finish. -- Antonio Galloni"

94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck The 2016 Petit Verdot comes from a higher elevation block and was brought up in 40% new French oak. It has a great bouquet of white pepper, chocolatey dark fruits, tobacco, and a kiss of violets to go with a full-bodied, incredible-elegant profile on the palate. You don’t find Petit Verdot with this level of finesse very often, and it has silky tannins, good mid-palate concentration, and a great finish. It’s another stunning wine from Leighton I’d be thrilled to drink over the coming 10-15 years.”

Blackberry, black plum and wood spice are aromatic on the nose. This dry, fuller-bodied wine has notes of black fruit, mocha, and vanilla on the palate.

This delicious red opens with deep aromas of leather, cigar box and red fruit. Plush flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and pomegranate lend a touch of fruit sweetness that is a nice counterpoint to the soft, chewy tannins.

Wine Spectator, 90 Points: Dense and powerful, with plenty of loamy notes to the dark cherry and roasted plum flavors that show creamy accents. Ends with dark chocolate on the finish.

Bright aromas of blackberry, cedar, vanilla, chocolate and flowers.  The palate is dominated by blackberry jam, with layers of spice, mocha, clove, cinnamon, campfire and chocolate covered blueberries (particularly on the long finish). It is full bodied with medium acidity and soft tannins.  

Aromas of blackberry, blueberry and a hint of spice nicely integrated with the new oak. The palate is medium-bodied and very well balanced. Flavors of blueberries, blackberries and roasted tomatoes alongside pencil shavings and Christmas spices. It has supporting acidity and fine tannins towards the finish.

This is absolutely delicious! Blackberry pie, cocoa and espresso beans are bright and lifted on the nose. Flavors of blackberry, blueberry, vanilla, light minerality and a hint of black pepper can be found in this medium to fuller bodied wine. Crisp acid and supple tannins provide just-right structure, finishing with a lengthy mocha note.
