What we
love about LaBelle Winery located in Amherst, New Hampshire
is that Winemaker Amy LaBelle, is crafting delectable, less
well-known wines, like her LaBelle Winery Petit Verdot. This bold,
red wine is richly succulent and redolent with black fruit, floral, violet,
and tobacco notes. It's gorgeous to drink on its own, and pairs well with
grilled steaks, bold food, and dark chocolate. We paired LaBelle Winery
Petit Verdot with Luxury Experience - Grilled Chicken with "PV"
Barbecue Sauce. We not only drank the wine, we also added some Petit
Verdot to our homemade barbecue sauce to bring out the flavors of the wine and
complement the food, and it was a perfect match. Cheers and Bon Appetit!

Technical and
Bottle Notes: "Petit Verdot is a variety of red wine grape, principally used in
classic Bordeaux blends. As a young grape, its aromas are likened to banana or
pencil shavings. When ripens, it presents deep tannin structure, bold color,
and rich leather/violet tones."
Pairing
Bottle Notes: "Pair with grilled
beef and dark chocolate."
Tasting
Notes: The color is a deep, dark purple color.
On the nose it entices with dark fruit, floral and violet, tobacco, and leather
notes with bold flavors on the palate. With this intensely delicious and bold
red wine, we opted to pair it with grilled chicken with homemade barbecue sauce
with a touch of LaBelle Winery Petit Verdot in the sauce to round out the
flavors. The Petit Verdot held its own and was a complement to the rich bold
barbecue sauce. We also paired the wine with spicy Asian food and that, too,
was an excellent pairing.
