The 2019 Petit Verdot "R" from Jeff Runquist Wines is a bold and luxurious wine that showcases the intensity and depth this varietal is known for. Deep, inky purple in color, it opens with powerful aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and plum, accented by hints of violets, black tea, and a touch of vanilla.  On the palate, this full-bodied wine delivers layers of dark fruit flavors, complemented by notes of mocha, clove, and a whisper of toasted oak. Velvety tannins and a balanced acidity provide structure and elegance, while a long, lingering finish leaves traces of cocoa and baking spices.  Perfect for those who appreciate a rich and complex red, the 2019 Petit Verdot "R" pairs beautifully with grilled steaks, roasted lamb, or hearty mushroom dishes.
