Twice in the past three years, Wade Wolfe along Cabernet Court in Prosser has earned a Platinum for his work with Petit Verdot. Double Canyon Vineyard has given him a very expressive example of this Bordeaux variety that’s traditionally been used as a blending component. Allowed to stand on its own, there is rich dark purple fruit with violet, lavender and dried herbs. Plum jam and allspice on the midpalate pave the path for a long and soft finish of sweet chocolate ganache and molasses. Award: Bellingham Northwest (gold).
