2015 Stone Tree Petit Verdot
Stone Tree Vineyard, with its furnace-like temperatures, almost always tames this animalistic grape, typically used for blending due to its intense color and tannins.  I know of no other vineyard able to grow this variety with such bridled tannins and intensity of fruit. Its purple garnet color portends its concentrated character. Floral fragrance of bramble and fruit tree blossoms wave in blackberry, black cherry and raspberry aromatics. The fruit flavors are amped up on the palate by the wine’s wonderful acidity and are not overshadowed by the round, yet firm tannins thus achieving remarkable balance.
