Yountville enjoys the early morning fog and cool growing conditions of the maritime influenced southern Napa Valley, whilst the early receding fog gives us more sunlight and warmer daytime temperatures than the more southerly Carneros region. Our warm summer daytime temperatures and cool evenings result in grapes with rich fruit flavors and an excellent acid balance. Proximity to the San Francisco bay and its moderating influences produces wines deep in color with rich, concentrated fruit flavor and lovely acidity. Vinification Petit Verdot grapes were gently crushed to minimize crushing of berries and maximize fruit character. We fermented at 85 degrees-F with a Bordeaux yeast strain, and extracted color utilizing gentle irrigation over the skins. The wine underwent malo-lactic fermentation and was barrel aged in a combination of French (78%) and American (22%) oak barrels for 17 months. The wine was not fined and received one filtration prior to bottling. The resulting blend received six months of bottle age prior to release. Tasting Notes Our Petit Verdot is deep purple in color with aromas of earth and violets. On the palate the wine has smoky, strawberry and black currant fruit flavors. Aging in small barrels has softened the powerful tannins, yielding a beautifully integrated and balanced palate. The perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes and aged cheeses.
