Mythology Petit Verdot

Appearance: Deep ruby-purple colour.

Nose: Cedary, spicy, plum nose with evident oak spice.

Palate: Medium-bodied, dry, sour cherry and cranberry flavours carried on lively acidity to a firm finish of mellow tannins. This wine is powerful and build for the long run. A few more years in the cellar will reward you. You can already detect great depth and concentration running across a fantastic structure. Cigar box, cedar, earthiness and lots of black fruits are at the forefront of this great wine. The long and spicy finish helps create length and complexity.

Quality: 91 points Carl’s Wine Club, 89 points, Tony Aspler, My Wine Canada. Very Good+. Can be opened now, but will reward cellaring for 1 – 2 years.

Food Pairing: Garlic-braised short ribs with red wine sauce, ossobuco, lamb and potato pot pie, butternut squash and black bean enchiladas, and Cajun-roasted pork loin.
