Petit Verdot Napa Valley 2022

The 2022 Petit Verdot Napa Valley is a bold expression of this classic Bordeaux varietal, known for its deep color, dense structure, and intense flavors. Sourced predominantly from the Atlas Peak and Oakville AVAs, the Petit Verdot thrives in Napa Valley's warm climate and volcanic soils, producing smaller berries with exceptional concentration.

On the nose, this wine reveals dusty, dark fruit aromas of cassis and bramble berry, enhanced by notes of coffee, black pepper, sarsaparilla, and vanilla. The medium-plus-bodied palate offers mouthwatering flavors of cassis, boysenberry, and strawberry, with hints of pine, cola, and dark earth framed by a firm tannic backbone. Aged for 18 months in French oak, of which 30% were new barrels, this Petit Verdot delivers a structured and captivating experience, ideal for those who appreciate a powerful and refined Napa Valley wine.
