Description:
Historically used as a blending grape, the Petit Verdot produces full-bodied wines with intense deep garnet color. One is greeted by the distinctive aromas of tobacco with a hint of plum. The tobacco carries through the mid-palate, enhanced by layers of raspberry and mellow pepper unfolding within the rich, supple texture. Don't let historical precedence of a bold blending wine. The elegance of the mid-palate leads you to hints of cherry and a gentle, pleasing tannic finish.

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.
