2020 Underworld Petit Verdot
Unlike some previous vintages, the 2020 Underworld Petit Verdot includes a measure of Malbec. Powered by a intense aromas of violets, dark chocolate, Asian spices and fennel, the palate unfolds in a concert of black cherry, blackberries, crushed stone, dark chocolate, and cedar. Sourced from three vineyards in the Yakima Valley and White Bluffs AVAs, this is a very limited production wine. Delicious now, but built for a long, adventurous life.
Food pairing: Memphis style BBQ or spicy ratatouille
Movie pairing: Down by Law
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Underworld was named for the place that Petit Verdot holds in a number of our wines. Sorta sits underneath other leading varietals in a beautifully supporting role. Just a tiny bit adds acidity, color, and flowers. In its 100% varietal bottling, Underworld shows the unique power and intensity of this tiny dark berry. The majority of the fruit has come from Olsen Vineyard each year since its inception in 2010.
