Underworld

2010 Yakima Valley Petit Verdot

The Sparkman Underworld is a remarkable 2010 Petit Verdot hailing from the esteemed Yakima Valley, known for its exceptional terroir that nurtures bold and sophisticated reds. This inky red wine showcases a full-bodied profile with an alluring depth and complexity. It delivers high acidity that invigorates the palate while maintaining a well-structured balance. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark berries, plums, and hints of black currant that mingle harmoniously with subtle notes of spice and oak. The tannins are notably firm, providing a sturdy backbone that promises excellent aging potential. With an off-dry finish, this wine is both inviting and intriguing, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire.

Yakima Valley

Washington's Yakima Valley enjoys 300 days of sunshine per year, thanks to the shelter provided by the Cascade Mountains. And although it is dry here, it has the coolest climate in the Columbia Valley. With innovative irrigation and canopy techniques in the vineyards, Yakima Valley is home to nearly a third of Washington's wine production. Bright sunlight and crisp temperatures result in well-balanced wines with complex flavors and mouthwatering acidity. Fresh, creamy Chardonnay and surprisingly floral Rieslings are the main white wines here. There are also some impressively elegant red Bordeaux-style blends and peppery Syrah with a backbone of rich, dark fruit.
