2017 Petit Verdot
Four exceptional barrels were selected and held back for a limited bottling of our always anticipated popular varietal.  A glorious warm, dry conclusion to this outstanding vintage allowed us to let the grapes hang for full ripening and maturity.

Fresh baked blackberry cobbler exudes from the glass and carries over into the flavors along with ripe plums, anise, and violets.  Medium tannins along with a well-balanced acid structure frame the jammy fruit in this gorgeous, inky-dark offering.
