Napa Valley Petit Verdot

Napa Valley Petit Verdot Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: This Petit Verdot is a deep, inky purple. Richly perfumed with bright blueberries, plums and licorice on the nose, with spice and flinty smokiness. The rich mouthfeel creates a wonderful sense of power and finesse. Well balanced with ripe, elegant tannins and balanced acidity. This rich and hearty wine will pair wonderfully with meats such as, rib eye steak or game hen as well as aged cheeses.

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.
