Produced by an innovative German winemaker who settled in Spain near the historic village of Ronda, with its ancient medieval bridge that traverses a steep ravine, the 2001 Petit Verdot’s dense ruby/purple color is followed by a Bordeaux-like austerity displaying sweet black currant, cedar, licorice, and spice box characteristics. This impressive Petit Verdot should age nicely for 10-12 years. Importer: Patrick Mata, Ole Imports, New Rochelle, NY; tel. (914) 576-6120
