Petit Verdot Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: The fruit was cold soaked for two days to maximize color, then fermented in t-bins for seven days with an extended maceration for two weeks. The wine aged in French oak barrels - 50% new and 50% neutral - for thirteen months. The wine has bright earthy fruit on the nose, a rich, round palate and soft tannins.

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.
