MICHAEL SHAPS PETIT VERDOT

An assemblage from two different vineyard sites in Albemarle County. This wine underwent a non-inoculated fermentation on the skins for close to a month and then racked to French Oak (50% new) for malolactic and close to two years of aging. It shows multifaceted aromas, from dark fruit character to the more elemental, and is full bodied, structured, and highly ageable.
