Einat Lonely Cat Petit Verdot (750ml)

Lonely Cat is Einat Winery's first single-varietal release, 100% Petit Verdot, hand-harvested from vines at 850 meters in the Samaria mountains and aged twelve to eighteen months in French oak. Petit Verdot rarely stands alone. When it does, it delivers this: bold spice, dark fruit, and structure meant to age.

Mood: peppery, elegant, structured.

Tasting Notes

Black pepper, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg layer over dark plum, blackberry, and violet on the nose. The palate is full-bodied and structured, with firm well-integrated tannins carrying the fruit through a long, savory finish of graphite and dried herb.

Food Pairing

A serious Shabbos red for standing rib roast, lamb shoulder, venison, or slow-cooked cholent. Also excellent with hard aged cheeses and dark chocolate. Cellars beautifully; seven-to-ten-year aging potential.
