Peanutman posted this in the Make a Suggestion thread, but I think it deserves a separate post, even though it’s no longer in stock. As it happens, Kelly and I just had an excellent Australian Petit Verdot last night, though not the one that is currently available at ANBL. This seems to be a grape worth looking out for. Anyone else had a Petit Verdot recently? Anyone have more comments on the de Bortoli Vat 4 that ANBL carries?
— Peanutman’s Review —
Just wondering if anyone bought the Finca Antigua Petit Verdot 2006 at the Wine Festival. I had my first bottle tonight. Too bad NBLC doesn't have any in stock. Wow. what a good wine. Very blackberry ish and smooth to boot. A little tannic but not much. Probably perfect time to drink it. I don't remember what I paid, probably around $20. Smell is simply beautifully fruity, like something you would want to have on your toast in the morning. I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 and I would say that it was better than the Australian Petit Verdot available at NBLC. Simply enjoyable.
Value 4.5/5
UPC: No longer available.

I agree, this wine was an absolute stand-out at the Wine Show. I wish this would come back as a general listing or something.
