Nose
Dark fruit aromas of plum and blackcurrant.
Palate
Hints of olive and dried herbs leading to a dusty finish with elements of cocoa and spice.
Growing Conditions
We source 95% of the fruit for this wine from Pickberry Vineyard on the northeast slope of Sonoma Mountain; a rolling hillside plot on volcanic soil where warm days and cool nights promote optimal ripeness balanced by fresh acidity. The remaining 5% comes from Rancho Salina Vineyard on the west facing slopes of the Mayacamas range overlooking southern Sonoma Valley where red, rocky volcanic soils yield well-structured wines.
Food Pairing
Our Petit Verdot pairs nicely with mushrooms, charcuterie and cheeses (try Bay Blue or Midnight Moon), or even a simple crouton topped with chèvre and a bit of olive tapenade. This wine also complements beef and lamb dishes.
