2013 was an interesting vintage in Washington. Although the first half was very hot, the second half was more moderate with large swings between the daytime highs and nighttime lows causing some grapes to ripen with both high sugar and high acid. Since our Petit Verdot from Angiolina Vineyard in Yakima followed this trend, we added a little of our low acid Tempranillo from California to balance out the final blend. Petit Verdot, like Petite Sirah absolutely craves to be aged in 100% new Kentucky American barrels. The result is a mysteriously dark and enticing blend with a tantalizing bouquet of violet, plum, and spiced chocolate.
