Vellum 2009 Black Red (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Black
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Vellum / Napa Valley

This Petit Verdot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend clearly wants some time in the cellar. Although it’s extraordinarily rich with blackberries, black currants and violets, the tannin-acid structure is such that aging for at least ten years shouldn’t be a problem.
