Garnet black color. Aromas and flavors of grilled sage, dried violets and lilac, plum, blueberry, cherry sauce, and cedar and leather with a round, lively, bone-dry medium body and a warming, charming, medium-length finish that shows accents of potpourri, red plum and anise, cherry and pink peppercorn, and aged balsamic with cherry. Rarely seen as a single varietal, this expression shows the rich floral, savory, and purple fruit tones that are great in a blend and more than good enough to be enjoyed independently.

Petit Verdot

Serve in a Cabernet Wine Glass
Petit Verdot is a red Bordeaux variety, one of six permitted in a Bordeaux classified wine. It is almost never seen as a stand-alone variety in this region, instead it is a blending component, used primarily to add color to the wine.

The grape's deep, inky purple hue is quite remarkable and perhaps for that reason, it has attracted a handful of producers in California as a stand-alone wine. It is also used in small amounts as a blending grape in certain powerful California reds. The grape is also grown in Chile and Spain.

The flavors are of blackberry, black cherry and plum along with light black spice. Tannins are moderate as is acidity. Pair a Petit Verdot with robust dishes, be it game birds or venison.
