Rose Wine Details
Price:

Description: This iconoclastic blend of the wonderfully aromatic and flowery Viognier with the complex, full bodied Petit Verdot creates a truly pleasant and versatile wine. Bright and clean, the Persimmon hues remind you of the warm soft glows of a summer sunset. The initial impression when smelling the wine is a hint of rose and nutty spice. Slightly citric with mild tones of apricot and pear, the Viognier is beautifully balanced with the more subdued and mature Petit Verdot. This 90/10 blend is lightly sweetened which allows all the mild fruit flavors to shine through without too much tannin. This wine is truly versatile. Great with seafood, traditional cheese platters, or fruit such as melon and pears. Serve chilled.

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.
