Petit Verdot 2005















Double Gold
98 out of 100 points at the California State Competition
Best of Class and Best of California

Usually used as a blending wine in Bordeaux, Petit Verdot is little known as a varietal in the wine world. Although we too use this variety to blend, we wanted to experience the quality of the wine as it stands alone. The extended maceration softens tannins in the finish and adds layers of fruit to the mid palate. Aging in small French oak casks with different toast levels further adds to the complexity of this wine.
