Petite Verdot

Petite Verdot · Stags Leap District AVA

Tasting Notes

blackberryvioletlicoricedark espressoslate

Petite Verdot is rarely made as a varietal — typically blended in small amounts for its color and structure. We believe our Stags Leap block produces something singular enough to stand alone. This is for collectors and the genuinely curious.

Nose

Deep and brooding — inky blackberry, violet, and licorice give way to a distinctive slate minerality and dark espresso.

Palate

Muscular and powerful with assertive but refined tannins. This is a wine of extraordinary concentration and structural intensity. Patience will be rewarded.

Finish

Enormous — the violet and slate notes carry on for minutes. A wine built for a decade of cellaring.

Food Pairings

Wild boar ragu
Beef tartare
Triple cream brie
Dark chocolate

Cellar Notes

"Petite Verdot is best enjoyed between 2024 and 2033. Decant for 45 minutes if drinking young. Serve at 60–65°F in a Bordeaux glass."
