Description:
A native grape of the great region of Bordeaux, France, Petite Verdot is one of the rarest and least planted wine grapes in California. Typically used as a blending component to lend color and tannins in wine, Rutherford Hill offers Petite Verdot as a varietal wine. We strategically manage the tannin profile to yield a garnet colored wine that possesses great character and structure. Aromas of blueberries and ripe black berries are complimented by rich, bold tannins yielding a full-bodied wine capable of aging 10 to 15 years

Varietal Definition
Petit Verdot:
Petite Verdot is one of the five noble Bordeaux varietals, essentially acting as the nuts and bolts in most Bordeaux blends. With intense color and racy flavors, this wine possesses elements of pencil shavings, dark fruit presentation and a subtle complexity, which can be appreciated by even the most discerning palate.
