A bold and beautifully structured single-vineyard Petit Verdot from Washington’s Stonetree Vineyard. Lobo Hills’ 2022 bottling shows off the grape’s darker side—rich, brooding, and impressively elegant, with a fresh, food-friendly edge.
Taste
Concentrated flavors of blackberry, black plum, and cassis are layered with notes of lavender, tobacco, and a hint of cocoa. Full-bodied but balanced, with firm yet polished tannins, bright acidity, and a long, savory finish. It’s powerful without being overwhelming.
