Evangelos Bagias Lodi Petit Verdot 2020
About the wine
Refined, easy-drinking Petit Verdot from a legendary Lodi winemaker
- Each sip of this lush, rustic Petit Verdot brings a mouthful of juicy dark fruit flavors like blackberry, blueberry and cherry, rounded off with a long, elegant finish from 5 months of barrel-aging in expensive French oak.
- Thanks to your funding, Evangelos was able to select high-quality Petit Verdot from one of Lodi's top vineyards, where conditions line up perfectly for this varietal to develop a full, complex set of intense flavors.
- This Petit Verdot has the finesse and complexity to be enjoyed all on its own, but is also versatile enough to pair perfectly with a wide variety of foods. For a go-to easy-sipping red to have on hand for every occasion this summer, look no further!
Best before
This Petit Verdot has the complexity and structure to age and develop well for at least the next 5 years.
Serving advice
Let this powerful red open up and air out for at least 1-2 hours before enjoying it, and serve it at room temperature - around 60-68ºF.
Food match
Lamp kebabs or spicy chicken vindaloo curry would both be great matches with this red.
Contains sulphites
