2019 Small Lot Petit Verdot
Floral aromas are accompanied with notes of dark fruit and wet stone minerality. In the mouth, blackberries & fig are accented with notes of caramel and black pepper. The concentrated fruit is round and full with powdery tannins. The bright acidity provides a lift on the finish that elevates the floral notes once more.

Vineyard Notes
The fruit for this wine is grown at our Estate Milt's Vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills. The fruit is exposed to dappled sunlight, allowing for uniform ripening and flavor development. Well balanced crop levels have allowed us to create wines with great depth and concentration
Production Notes
The grapes were harvested and sorted in the vineyards with our Selective Harvester to allow for maximum hangtime and flavor development. The fruit was not crushed to preserve as much whole-berry as possible. We fermented the fruit in stainless steel tanks and open top fermenters with a combination of pumpovers, rack & returns, and punchdowns to control extraction and flavors. After fermentation, the wine was racked to 66% new American oak barrels for malolactic fermentation. The wine was barrel aged for 20 months.
