"Too good to blend"
was winemaker Bernard Abbott's comment
when tasting barrel samples of the 2006 Petit Verdot.

Deep purple in colour, with heady aromas of
cassis, blueberries and chocolate
embracing vanillin oak nuances,
this wine has an elegant fresh palate
with soft velvety tannins. 

It is indeed very good and there is not much of it
