Petit Verdot Napa Valley

2011 Napa Valley Petit Verdot

The Girard Petit Verdot from Napa Valley is a stunning red wine that captivates the senses with its deep, dark color. This 2011 vintage showcases the unique characteristics of the Petit Verdot varietal, delivering a full-bodied experience that is both bold and luxurious. The acidity remains bright, providing a refreshing lift to the palate, while the prominent fruit intensity reveals layers of rich blackberries and plums, intermingled with hints of baking spices and dark chocolate. Tannins are firm yet approachable, offering structure and depth without overwhelming the wine. As a dry offering, it is exceptionally well-balanced, making it a perfect companion to savory dishes or enjoyed on its own for a delightful evening.

It may be small, but when it comes to American wine regions, they do not come much bigger than Napa County. Home to the famous Napa Valley, which comprises most of its area, the Napa name has gained global recognition for its exceptional wines—especially its Bordeaux varieties. Most Napa County wineries choose to be more location-specific when labeling their wine, listing the name of sub-regions like Yountville, Los Carneros or Rutherford to capitalize on the name recognition. However, with such an abundance of high-quality grapes grown across the region, plenty of négociant winemakers blend fruit from different sub-regions. This gives Napa County wines excellent regional balance, taking advantage of different terroirs and mesoclimates.
