Calcareous 2006 Petit Verdot (Paso Robles)

Country: US /
Variety: Petit Verdot California
Winery: Calcareous / Paso Robles

Petite Verdot is a hard variety to succeed on its own, but Calcareous has produced a fine, dry wine made from that Bordeaux variety. It’s full-bodied and complex, with flavors of currants, mushu plum sauce, violets, dark chocolate and anise. Such are the tannins that the wine should develop through 2010.
