Michael David Inkblot Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot is typically the strong, silent type in Bordeaux blends – adding color, structure, and spice in small doses. But in the hands of Michael David, this supporting actor gets its star turn, and boy does it deliver a commanding performance.
Grown in Lodi's warm climate, Petit Verdot reaches a level of ripeness that would make a Bordeaux winemaker's monocle pop out in shock. The Inkblot series is aptly named – this wine is so densely colored it could be used to sign important documents if you run out of pen ink.
It's a wine for those who find Cabernet Sauvignon just a bit too wimpy (yes, such people exist). The intensity might be too much for some, but for those who appreciate a wine with gravitas and personality, this is a thrilling ride.
Just be warned – this is not a wine for the faint of heart or anyone wearing a white shirt they care about.
