TASTING NOTES
The 2021 Petit Verdot has a deep purple color with a shade of magenta in the wine's
youthful hue. The aromas of this wine are focused on ripe dark fruit; blackberry,
boysenberry and dark cherry. The bouquet features hazelnut and light chocolate along
with a suggestion of graphite. Flavors of savory black currant and creamy toasty oak are
delivered by a wine with smooth polished tannins with a finish that is soft and round, with
toasted oak flavors that linger. This is an elegant red wine that is ready to be savored and
enjoyed.
ABOUT THE WINE
Varietal Petit Verdot is rare. Despite an impeccable pedigree alongside Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec, Petit Verdot is one of the five major red varietals of
Bordeaux and finding a bottle labeled Petit Verdot is still difficult. Of all the Bordeaux
varieties Petit Verdot needs the most sunshine and heat. My explanation for the rarity of
varietal Petit Verdot starts with the grower. Unfortunately for those of us that love to
explore the diversity of the wine market, economics and wine quality have teamed up to
suppress the offerings of wine produced from this outstanding grape. We are proud and
excited to provide wine lovers with an award-winning 100% Petit Verdot from California.
