The Napa Cellars 2016 Petit Verdot showcases bright aromas of cola, dried herbs, moist tobacco, cedar and tea notes that allure the nose, followed by subtle hints of grilled meat, salt water and toasted nuts. Flavors of ripe boysenberry, dark figs, chocolate, coffee, white pepper and a touch of black olive coats the palate. This wine has a solid and dense tannin structure, yet is fine-grained and not overpowering, which makes for a smooth finish and well-balanced acidity.
