Petit Verdot
$20
PETIT VERDOT
Petit Verdot is typically a blending grape used in Bordeaux-style wines, but 2016 Petit Verdot grapes so gorgeous that I couldn’t bear to blend this wine with others. Instead, I decided to age and bottle Petit Verdot on its own. This bold red dry wine expresses strong floral and fruit tones, in particular, violet, leather and a deep tannin structure and leaves a velvety, lingering finish. LaBelle Petit Verdot pairs perfectly with grilled beef, and is also surprisingly good with dark chocolate. Serve just below room temperature.

About Cabernet Franc: Cabernet Franc (along with Sauvignon Blanc) is one of the parent grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon. It produces wines similar in style to the more famous Cabernet Sauvignon, but lighter bodied, with less tannin and more aroma. It can have herbaceous (green pepper) aromas.
About Noiret: Moderately cold-hardy grape created from a complex cross in 1973 at Cornell University and it withstands temperatures to -14 °F. Noiret produces wines with a deep red color, good tannins, and unusually robust pepper overtones.
