Petit Verdot

Petit Verdot Wine Details
Price: $19.00 per bottle

Description: Petit Verdot is rapidly becoming the premier red grape of Virginia and this wine is a good example of why this is so. It reveals notes of cassis, blackcurrant, leather, and a hint of anise. Pairs nicely with grilled meats and game.

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.
