I've never seen the straight PV, sounds like something that would a winery-only purchase. Did you buy it here, or someone bring it to you?

Hi Jenise - I bought the Portteus Petit Verdot at a local retailer here (Lower Falls Wine in Newton). Haven't tried any of their other wines before - are there any in particular that I should keep an eye out for?

The inconsistency I mentioned makes it hard to recommend anything, and I don't have a locally available option for trying their lineup. But I can say that the 2012 vintage, which is coming into the marketplace now, is one of the most classic WA vintages in a long while and Portteus' wines from this vintage should show very very well.
