2022 Petit Verdot

Friesen Vineyards Petit Verdot is a stunning expression of the Texas High Plains terroir, epitomizing the bold and rich character of this exceptional varietal. In the glass, it displays a deep, inky purple color, foreshadowing the intensity within. On the nose, it opens with an enticing bouquet of dark berries, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, complemented by fragrant notes of violet and subtle hints of cocoa and vanilla. The palate is robust and complex, offering concentrated flavors of ripe black cherries, plum, and a touch of black pepper, seamlessly balanced by well-integrated tannins that provide structure and depth. Mid-palate, nuances of espresso and dark chocolate emerge, adding to its rich profile. The finish is long and lingering, with a delightful combination of dark fruit and a hint of smoky oak, leaving a memorable impression. This Petit Verdot pairs wonderfully with hearty dishes like grilled steaks, lamb, and rich stews, as well as aged cheeses, enhancing its bold and layered flavors. Friesen Vineyards Petit Verdot is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship and passion behind each bottle, offering a truly remarkable and memorable wine experience that showcases the full potential of the Texas High Plains.
