Typically a blending grape that adds color and sometimes a floral note to Cabernet Sauvignon-centric and Bordeaux-style blends, Petit Verdot can also be very good on its own. This vintage from Sattui’s Vittorio’s Vineyard is a stunning example. A Platinum Award Winner at the 2020 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
