The 2019 Madrigal Petit Verdot bursts with aromas of blackberry, blueberry compote, violets, and hints of graphite or dried herbs, layered with toasted oak, vanilla, and black pepper spice. On the palate, it’s bold and full-bodied, with concentrated dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, and notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and leather. It is rich and structured making it an ideal match for grilled ribeye, lamb chops, or smoky barbecue, as well as hearty dishes like braised short ribs or wild mushroom risotto.
