This Petit Verdot will benefit from aeration. The finish is dry and its rather dusty tannins stick around for a very long time. I also detected some hints of oak and black licorice. The flavor profile is an enjoyable combination of blueberry, blackberry, minerality and stewed plums. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, smooth, soft and has a drying presence from its tannins. Wine Review: This midnight purple colored Petit Verdot from Hawk and Horse is a big boy! It opens with a fragrant and attractive blueberry and boysenberry bouquet. 2014 Hawk and Horse Vineyards Petit Verdot
