Petit Verdot

The 2023 Vintage of Petit Verdot presents a complex yet subtle bouquet of flowers and sage, with a core of dark blackberry, blackcurrant, and plum, finishing with sweet tobacco. The wine is perfectly balanced, with intense, concentrated fruit flavors, the result of extended three-week maceration on the skins before being gently pressed off in November of 2023. It was aged for 16 months in 80% new French oak and 20% two-year French Oak barrels, undergoing only three rackings (one rack after ML, one for blending, and one into the tank to bottle). In our experience, Petit Verdot rejoices in new French oak that adds to the complexity and integration of the smooth and assertive tannins that fill the palate, lingering into the long and sumptuous finish.
