title: Castillo's Hillside Shire 2013 Petit Verdot (Santa Clara County)
description: Blackberries, asphalt, char and black pepper show on the nose of this bottling from a winery in Morgan Hill. It's a little thin on the palate, especially for what can be a thick and dense grape, but the flavors are solid, with dark plum, coffee and pepper.
variety: Petit Verdot
