Wagyu Filet and Petit Verdot
Year after year, Petit Verdot has emerged as a beloved red variety from Virginia. This year’s vintage delights the senses with enticing aromas of ripe plum, rich chocolate, and freshly brewed coffee, culminating in a velvety finish accentuated by smooth, well-integrated tannins.
Tasting Notes:
A remarkable 100% Petit Verdot sourced exclusively from Virginia, this wine undergoes a meticulous aging process for 20 months in predominantly old American and French oak barrels, allowing it to develop complex layers of flavor. The enticing aromas evoke a bounty of red fruits, accompanied by a fragrant blend of leafy forest floor notes and subtle wood spices. On the palate, it reveals a rich, fruity character with a full-bodied profile, showcasing vibrant acidity and smooth tannins that elegantly linger through the finish. Perfectly paired with the exquisite Back Creek Wagyu Filet, this wine enhances the culinary experience with its bold and harmonious flavors.
