cabernet franc
Petit Verdot

This gentle monster unites two underappreciated varieties that are used primarily for blending in Bordeaux. We have discovered Petit Verdot grown under highly restricted yields adds a ripe, distinctive and important age-worthy component.


TASTING Notes

This wine exhibits enchanting aromas of roses, lavender, and ripe plums with blackberries, dark chocolate and minerality on the palate that lead to a finish that goes on and on. This wine was aged for 15 months in two-thirds new and one-third seasoned French oak.
