Interesting blend. Paired well with pot roast. Sour cherry and tobacco finish.

I normally avoid wines with petite Verdot but this was part of my wine club shipment and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't taste the bitterness or sour flavors that I have experienced with the petite Verdot grape. I think I will buy another bottle and give it some cellar time.
