Winemaker's Select

2012 Sonoma Valley Petit Verdot

The high acidity brings a refreshing brightness, enhancing the wine's overall structure and vibrancy. Tannins are notable yet smooth, providing a firm backbone that supports the lush fruit character while contributing to its aging potential. This wine is crafted in a dry style that makes it an excellent companion for hearty dishes, making it a versatile choice for any occasion. Enjoy this exquisite expression of Petit Verdot that reflects the unique terroir of Sonoma Valley.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
