Petit Verdot Reserve 2023
A quintessential big bold red, this Petit Verdot brings intense flavor, darkness like black ink, balanced acidity and tannins: the ultimate BBQ companion. When we set out to make a “mountain” Cabernet Sauvignon to rival those in Napa, we anticipated that it would require some Petit Verdot as a spicy addition. Most of our Petit Verdot was blended into the Cabernet Sauvignon, but the remainder is found here, in its pure expression. Petit Verdot grapes are tiny clusters that bring dark intensity, even more so than Petite Sirah. We managed to find these beautiful grapes in El Dorado, where the American River tumbles through canyons into Folsom Lake, a high-elevation vineyard like ours that is off most radars. 13.4% alcohol. 27 cases produced.
