title: Equinox 2009 Bartolo Petit Verdot (Santa Clara Valley)
description: Black as night in the glass, this wine—which come from the Mann Vineyard—is evened out with 13% Merlot and spent 30 months in American oak. Brown spice, black cherries and oregano power the palate along with notes of dried cherries and tobacco. It's drinking quite nicely right now.
