The folks at Peterson pride themselves on zero intervention style winemaking, and they aren’t afraid to bottle small lots that display something unique. This Petite Verdot shows as true to type, with violets and a dash of mint character, but adds layers of complexity with notes of dried herb, fall spice and umami savoriness. It is a pleasure to drink and has some backbone to stand up to rich red meat dishes. Contains 17% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Malbec.
