Miller's Dixon Creek Estate Petit Verdot 2006

So I haven't tried much Dixon Creek or straight Petit Verdot which meant I was into this from the outset. The Yarra must be a big area to be able to fit with so many different varieties. This wine is great to see since this has been held back a couple of years before release.

As the wine opens up you get a lovely bit of chalky tannins but there so much oak that it dominates the experience. The fruit still comes through with flavours of violets and spicy red and black fruits with a slight metallic element.
