Recognition
It’s a cruel and harsh world. A world where clients sometimes commission high-end custom wine from an expensive winemaker, but then the client cannot deliver on their end of the bargain and so the deal falls through.
Fortunately for you, Claudine Wines is here to pick up the pieces and turn someone else’s misfortune into your lucky day! Originally intended to be part of a custom blend, when this juice was left homeless, we got a call. The winemaker, a true up-and-comer on the progressive side of the California wine scene, told us this Petite Verdot was so good it needed to stand on its own. We were super skeptical at first, but once we got the samples we could not agree more! We think you’ll love being part of this growing wine movement where lesser-known varietals are not blended, but allowed to shine all on their own.
Tasting Notes
Long known as a supporting cast member, the Petit Verdot varietal is full-bodied with ample character and has been the behind-the-scenes player in some of the world’s most coveted blends, particularly in the Bordeaux region of France.
Recently, however, some of the more progressive winemakers in the world have begun to recognize this grape’s true value and are making it the star of the show. Boy did we luck up and get connected with one of the best upcoming (and progressive) winemakers in California on this one! Featuring a fantastic bouquet and notes of black cherry, blackberry, and violet. This is a super smooth fruit-forward wine, with high tannins on the finish. And at this price point, we think this Petit Verdot could quite possibly be the perfect Tuesday night wine!
