Matchbook Estate Dunnigan Hills Petit Verdot 2016

Petit Verdot grapes are in heaven at the Matchbook Estate and ripen with complexity due to the gravel-based soils. The final blend consists of 88% Petit Verdot and 12% Malbec and was aged for 13 months in American oak barrels.
93 Points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit ”

Richly fruited and impressively weighted, this bold red shows blackberry, plum, thyme and toasted almond characters on the nose with subtle notes of game and warm spice. It is dense and mouthfilling on the palate with terrific fruit power, backed by silky texture and supple tannins. At its best: now to 2022.”
