2017 Petit Verdot – River Ranch Vineyard
River Ranch . Jahant AVA
The Petit Verdot is an intensely dark wine with a welcoming blackberry-lavender bouquet and subtle fruit flavors complemented by hints of cream soda and molasses. This, combined with a full body and good structure, makes a distinctive style. We typically reserve Petit Verdot for blending, but this vintage showed such great classic Bordeaux notes, we had to showcase it as a single vineyard wine.
