Petit Abacus
Non-Vintage Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
ZD Wines is owned and operated by three generations of the deLeuze family. Petit Abacus (defined by Abacus) is the embodiment of over 40 years of the family's dedication to innovative winemaking. Defined by ZD's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Abacus is a solera-style blend (multi vintage) of every Reserve Cabernet the winery has ever produced. Eighteen vintages (1992-2009) married with our 2008 Petit Verdot. The resulting wine is a rare treasure—a meeting between the complexity of age and the vibrancy of youth.
Solera-style approach to aging this multi vintage wine. The solera includes eighteen vintages of ZD Reserve Cabernet(1992-2009) married with 2008 Petit Verdot. All of this wine is barrel aged in appropriately seasoned 52 gallon American Oak barrels on a continuing basis.
