The 2001 Murphy-Goode Petit Verdot was a wine we picked up from a recent trip to Sonoma. I haven't since seen it in retail shops here in NYC, but would jump on the chance to pick up a few bottles again. I generally agreed with the winemaker notes, including the fact that it had a really long, nice finish:
Winemaker, David Ready Jr. notes:
“Here is a well structured wine with uncommon breadth and depth, a concentrated mouthful of cocoa, black cherry and plum flavors. The silky smooth tannins, lasting finish and weight of this wine promise a long life.”
We had this with a beefy ribeye steak - stood up to the flavors perfectly.
