With a solid 92-point score, the Conn Creek Petit Verdot from Napa Valley 2019 showcases the region’s ability to craft deeply expressive wines. This varietal, often overshadowed by its Bordeaux counterparts, shines here with a rich tapestry of dark fruits, including ripe blackberry and plum, intertwined with hints of violet and a touch of spice. The velvety tannins and balanced acidity create a harmonious mouthfeel, making it approachable yet complex. Perfect for a cozy dinner featuring grilled lamb or a hearty mushroom risotto, this wine is not just a delight to sip; it also represents a fantastic value, delivering quality that far exceeds its original price tag.
