Petit Verdot (Puh-tee Ver-doh) is one of the original grapes planted in the Bordeaux region of France, along with others like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The name Petit Verdot translates to “little green”, which relates to the difficulty in growing the grape in the Bordeaux region, which is why it flourishes in warmer regions just like beautiful Lake County in California where this wine hails from.
When it does grow to full ripeness, it has big tannins, due to its very thick skin, and relatively high acidity.
A 100% Petit Verdot is a big wine with a higher tannin structure, which may be fantastic for ageing. Often with Petit Verdot, one will find aromas of smoke, tobacco/cigar, leather, and earth tone characteristics. Also, Petit Verdot can have hints of violet, leather, black pepper and other spices, and sometimes blueberry or blackberry.
Bitter dishes, dishes with black pepper, duck, lamb, rich or salty dishes are also fantastic with this wine.
