2022 Floral Terranes, Petit Verdot, Long Island, NY
$33.99
Erik and Benford are doubling down on Petit Verdot. I’d write something like, “Make Petit Verdot great again,” but my hope is that those jokes are finally done for. This is super compelling and if someone were to try and make an argument for Petit Verdot on Long Island, well, here you go. The wine is bull’s blood, dank near inky in color; the fruit profile matches these tones, with dark blackberry and plum edged by pepper, dried spices leather and dried tobacco. But what I really love about the wine is the energy, the satiny textural and super-fine tannins. This is a star.
