Michael David Petite Petit (75cl, 14.5%)

A bold Lodi, California red blend of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot from Michael David Winery, bottled at 14.5% ABV in a 750ml format. Michael David Winery is a fifth-generation farming family operation rooted in Lodi, with the Phillips family growing grapes there since the 1850s. Petite Petit blends 85% Petite Sirah with 15% Petit Verdot, then spends nine months in French oak barrels followed by seven months in neutral oak. The aroma brings rich plum and boysenberry jam, layered over black cherry and licorice, with camphor, toast, subtle smoke and vanilla. The palate is saturated with blackberry compote and dried blueberry, shifting to cacao nibs, graphite and cola, with strong but smooth tannins. The finish is long and firmly tannic with lingering cocoa, vanilla spice and dark fruit.
