One of the classic varietals originating from Bordeaux, France.  Petit Verdot enjoys Lodi's long dry growing season which affords this notoriously late ripener the extended hang-time required for it to fully develop its complex array of opulent fruit flavors and spice.  This wine illustrates Petit Verdot's true varietal character while artfully touting a graceful tannic structure.  Fermented in macro-bins and barrel-aged for 18 months in French Oak.

As your glass succumbs to the stain of inky purple, so too will your senses to this rich full-bodied wine. Luscious dark fruit aromas give way to ripe black cherry and blackberry wrapped in silky ribbons of mocha and smoky oak. Beautifully balanced from start to lingering finish, this wine subtly boasts a firm yet graceful tannic structure.

No matter how you spell it, there's nothing small about this wine but the size of the grapes!  Comprised of 50/50 blend between of Petit Verdot & Petite Sirah, this exquisite concoction embodies pure boldness, full voluptious body, rich depth of color, and intense flavor concentration.
