Judean Hills Petit Verdot
Judean Hills, Israel
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
On the nose blueberries, black currants, light vanilla, vegetables, bell pepper, dark coffee, licorice, oak, eucalyptus, black pepper, earth, river rocks, vinaigrette, wet leaves, leather, pencil lead and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, sour cherries, wood, licorice, spices, vanilla, vegetables, tobacco, dark coffee, vegetables, earth, leather, graphite, vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Medium plus in finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 5 year old Petit Verdot from Israel is drinking very nicely now. Nicely balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Still young and needs another two years in the bottle to mature.
Needs 3 hours in a decanter to open up and show tannins and some complexity.
Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats cheeses and olives.
A blend of 85% Petite Verdot and 15% Malbec. Aged for 12 months in oak barrels and then 24 in the bottle. Kosher.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$45.
