Violet color. Aromas and flavors of shoe polish, blackberry, purple flowers, and coriander with a satiny, crisp, dry medium body and a tingling, delightful, medium-length finish that shows notes of blackberry and black currant, polished leather, and lavender with crunchy tannins. Elevated tannic structure and black fruit make this a red wine that would appreciate food.

About
Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot is a red Bordeaux variety, one of six permitted in a Bordeaux classified wine. It is almost never seen as a stand-alone variety in this region, instead it is a blending component, used primarily to add color to the wine.

The grape's deep, inky purple hue is quite remarkable and perhaps for that reason, it has attracted a handful of producers in California as a stand-alone wine. It is also used in small amounts as a blending grape in certain powerful California reds. The grape is also grown in Chile and Spain.

The flavors are of blackberry, black cherry and plum along with light black spice. Tannins are moderate as is acidity. Pair a Petit Verdot with robust dishes, be it game birds or venison.
