Petit Verdot

Typically a supporting player in Bordeaux blends, Petit Verdot shines in warm climates, producing wines of inky depth and brooding spice. Black fruits, violets, and tobacco define its aromatics, while bold tannins lend formidable structure. In youth, it is muscular and intense; with age, it mellows into layers of dried herbs, dark chocolate, and graphite. A wine of unapologetic power, best suited for those who appreciate structure and longevity.
