Description:
Love at first sight! A dark, full-
bodied red wine yet crisp and sharp
in color. Aged in French oak barrels
for 18 months. Petit Verdot is a
classic French Bordeaux style
grape whose potential is being
redefined by Virginia’s Southern
Piedmont soil. Our rich, clay soils
famous for growing some of the
finest tobacco, coax dormant flavors
from this grape. The wine is gently
acidic with soft and balanced
tannins. Our PV teases the palate
with tones of Vanillin, dark
chocolate, black cherry, cassis and
even a hint of tobacco. The nose is
lightly vanillin and fruity but also
suggests aromatic hints of
sandalwood and cedar, all of which
is confirmed in the smooth finish.
This classic style wine is great with
fine steaks, pasta, or classic
French cuisine, but bold enough to
handle spicier Mexican food. If you
want a special treat try this wine
with some European style semi-
sweet chocolate while relaxing by a
cozy fireplace!!

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.
