title: Tamarack Cellars 2012 Dionysus Vineyard Petit Verdot (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: Fans of Petit Verdot, which has almost attained cult status in Washington, will not want to miss this spectacular effort. Bright, chewy and muscular though it is, the tannins have been polished perfectly, and set off with 40% new oak, adding dark, smoky chocolate and espresso flavors. The acidity keeps up, underscoring tart berry fruit with some sweet green-tomato highlights.
variety: Petit Verdot
designation: Dionysus Vineyard
