Deep violet and nearly opaque in the glass, this Estate Petit Verdot greets the senses with fragrant floral notes of fresh gardenia. Complex flavors of blueberry, tobacco leaf, leather, and a touch of candied fruit unfold across the palate. Richly textured and beautifully structured, the wine is supported by firm tannins that carry through the finish, showcasing both power and elegance. Enjoy by the fire or on a cool evening when only a bold red wine will do.

VINEYARD INFO
The Arroyo Road Estate Vineyard was planted in 2012, with its first harvest in 2015, and is carefully farmed to produce exceptional Petit Verdot. The vines are pruned to a single cane per spur to promote uniform sun exposure and limit yields, resulting in concentrated flavors and balanced fruit. The vineyard's red clay soils contribute depth and structure, while irrigation is applied only as needed to maintain vine health and fruit quality throughout the growing season.
