title: Raphael 2013 Reserve Petit Verdot (North Fork of Long Island)
description: Plush, lip-staining blueberries and blackberries permeate through this rich, inky-black Petit Verdot. It's intensely fruity, but dense layers of tar, char, cedar and spice add striking counterpoints. Fine-grained tannins are still taut and unyielding but should meld nicely from 2020 through 2026.
variety: Petit Verdot
designation: Reserve
