2009 Petit VerdotAVA: Columbia Valley Blend and Vineyard:
Alcohol: 14.9% Production: 24 cases Harvest Date: 10/17/2009 Brix at Harvest: 27.4 Notes: This low-profile Bordeaux varietal makes a powerful and intriguing wine when grown in Washington. From a family-farmed vineyard in the Columbia Valley's Wahluke Slope, the ANIMALE Petite Verdot has a deep red-black color; very complex and exotic aromas of cherries and plum, with hints of roasted peppers, kumquat and ginger; it is a full-bodied wine with zesty acidity and a long, powerful finish.
