‘Fourgon’
Wine Club Exclusive
Tiny berried Petit Verdot grown in the rugged soils of the Northern side of the Yakima Valley. This varietal is late-ripening and a challenge in the winery to make in a gentle way. With patience, we intentionally craft this wine with gentle handling to reveal a fruit-driven blend with soft extraction, and an accent of oak spice to balance. This will be unlike any Petit Verdot you may have had, with big aromas of dark berry, dried fruit, raisin, and floral notes, and a palate of blackberry, bramble, and dark cherry. While the color is purple and dark, the texture is surprisingly round and soft. Pair this wine with braised short ribs in a rich sauce.
