Discover the bold character of Petit Verdot, a prestigious Bordeaux varietal that thrives in our San Francisco terroir. This wine showcases luxurious plum aromatics and the distinctive structure that makes Petit Verdot a sought-after component in world-class blends. Traditionally used sparingly—just 1-3% of a blend—for its deep purple hue and powerful tannins, our standalone expression reveals why California's finest producers are championing this grape. Late-ripening and increasingly rare in its native France, Petit Verdot flourishes in our climate, delivering the complexity and aging potential that serious wine enthusiasts crave. One of only six approved red wine grapes in Bordeaux, Petit Verdot commands respect for its concentrated flavors and structured backbone. Our vintages—2012, 2013, and 2014—each capture the essence of what makes this varietal exceptional: a wine that demands attention, rewards patience, and evolves beautifully over time. Whether you're a collector seeking a distinctive addition to your cellar or an adventurous palate ready to explore beyond the familiar, this Petit Verdot invites you to experience a varietal that bridges Old World prestige with New World terroir. Taste the difference that California's ideal growing conditions bring to one of Bordeaux's most underrated treasures.
