Finn Hill 2013 Tenebrae Stillwater Creek Vineyard Petit Verdot (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Petit Verdot
Winery: Finn Hill / Tenebrae Stillwater Creek Vineyard

This 100% varietal wine leads with woodspice, green herb and flower aromas and follows with sweet, vanilla-laced black fruit flavors. Although aged entirely in used French oak, the barrel influence is prominent. The tannins bring dryness, needing food to ease their grit.
