2006 Petit Verdot
 Never tasted a Petit Verdot? You’re not alone. It is unique and seldom seen, more often used to add complexity to a Cabernet or Bordeaux style blend. There are only 1,344 bearing acres (compared to 75,909 of Cabernet Sauvignon) of it out of a total vineyard acreage of 475,219 in California.
A late ripening grape, usually the last that we pick. Ours has great aromas: spice, sandlewood and berry notes. Plum and cherry fruit flavors mid-palate, finishing smooth and rich with medium tannins. You have the choice of drinking it now or waiting. The other night we enjoyed a 1996 out of our library with roast pork and can confirm Petit Verdot ages well.
Due to individual state regulations we can only ship to the following 29 states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
