Description
Petit Verdot is one of six grapes approved for making red wine in Bordeaux. Typically, it's used to create a blending wine, seldom accounting for more than 10% of the final blend, to which it makes a disproportionately large contribution of a reddish-purple color, and powerful tannins, body and structure. It was, thus, with a spirit of adventure and a desire to defy conventional wisdom that we selected fruit from our one-acre estate vineyard to create this first, age-worthy bottling. 100% Howell Mountain, 100% Petit Verdot. Consume this wine only with the most robust red meats and aged cheeses!
