Michael Shaps Petit Verdot Honah Lee Vineyard Monticello 2021

The 2021 Petit Verdot is a perfect example of a full-bodied, but well balanced
wine the Monticello AVA can produce, and is gaining notoriety both locally
and internationally. The hot climate at ripening added concentration and
broke down some of the acidity, resulting in a very balanced grape at harvest.
The tannic structure balanced by the acidity and deep dark fruit notes creates
a very dense bold red wine. This petit verdot has the structure and depth to
improve with 7-10 years of cellaring
