The 2022 Isenhower Jongleur Petit Verdot from Yakima Valley, aged for 22 months in 50% new 300-liter French oak, showcases the grape’s intensity and precision. In the glass, it glows a deep indigo-purple with hints of violet at the rim. Aromas of black cherry, cassis, crushed stone, and anise intertwine with nuances of mocha and worn leather. The palate is compact yet generous, revealing layers of blueberry, fig, and savory spice framed by cedar and graphite undertones. Firm tannins lend grip and definition, while its fresh acidity brings energy to the lingering finish.
