B. Leighton 2018 Olson Brothers Vineyard Petite Verdot

VINTAGE NOTES The 2018 vintage was incredible! This outstanding vintage began mild followed by a long and dry ripening season in the fall. This enabled us to hang the fruit to reach optimal ripeness without losing acidity or increasing sugars. The wines from 2018 are exceptional in many ways, from the great expression of the whites to the beautiful refinement and complexity of the reds. Enjoy!

Tasting Notes

CURRENT SCORES 95 Points, Jeb Dunnuck …offers a rocking nose of cassis and blueberry fruits as well as lots of tobacco, violets, and cedarwood. Full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with integrated oak and silky tannins, its another stunning wine from this talented winemaker that can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15+ years or so. 94 Points, VinousOwen Bargreen …shows off refined tannins that frame a pretty core of dark fruits, alongside crme de violette and sandalwood undertones. Its refined and seriously good to consume now, but you can enjoy this rich yet finesse-driven wine for at least another decade. 93 Points, James Suckling Aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry and almond. Full-bodied with chewy tannins. Lush and rich palate that remains balanced in its intensity. Dark chocolate comes through. Drink now.
