Taste the unique qualities of this rare 100% Petit Verdot from Dunnigan Hills
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Gilded Letter
Petit Verdot
This is an incredibly rare wine. It’s not often that you find a Petit Verdot outside of a blend. The grape is hard to manage, but those who have the dedication find that it is rich, expressive, and complex. Compared to many of the surrounding AVAs, Dunnigan Hills has a long growing season, which makes it perfect for the slow-ripening Petit Verdot. The grapes stayed on the vines until the fall when they were picked on a cool morning. The wine was fermented at cool temperatures before spending a year in barrels. The result is beautiful dark fruits and unique spices and chocolate. It’s a testament to what the dedication of talented farmers and winemakers can produce.

WINE REGION:
Dunnigan Hills
The lesser-known Dunnigan Hills appellation is nestled in a set of hills in the northwestern part of Yolo County, just east of Sonoma County. Known for producing big reds and lighter more acidic white. With rolling hills varying between 200 and 500 feet elevation, the region experiences vast diurnal temperature swings. This extreme change between dry heat during the day and cool temperatures at night allows the area to boast an extremely long growing season.
