Beast of the East vs. Best of the West….taste off
VA Monticello Petit Verdot against a Cali Napa Valley Cab.
Pairing: American Wagyu Strip, Home Fries, Mushroom Ron Zacapa 23 glaze.
As much as I love my Napa Cabs, the edge went to the PV. 93 - 92. — 7 months ago

What a beautiful rendering - staying inside its lane, this thoroughbred ran strong and gracefully. Med+ weight, the beauty here is the herbal/fruit tapestry - like listening to poetry and looking for the meaning. Very cerebral :) — 6 years ago

This is hearty CF…full and textured…all the necessary criteria for a big meal and meaningful varietal expression. Think Pollak CF reserve! — 3 years ago

Super clean & structured - compelling food wine! Mouthfeel, texture, acid...tannin: it’s all there. The only thing holding us back from me more distinguish reading would be that it taste profile is rather simple and not indicative of unique terroir or special growing conditions. It’s just “Chardonnay” in taste. This isn’t bad, it’s just not exotic or profoundly intriguing ;) — 4 years ago
