2022 Petit Verdot, Pocai Vineyard

Calistoga, Napa Valley

The 2022 Petit Verdot from our Pocai Vineyard is a bold and distinctive wine that highlights the unique characteristics of this traditionally blending varietal. Grown on a few acres of our east-facing vineyard, this late-ripening grape thrives in Napa Valley's conditions, producing a wine that is both rich and expressive. The wine opens with enticing aromas of ripe blackberry pie and fresh violets, followed by warm notes of vanilla and toasted graham cracker. On the palate, it is full-bodied and fruit-forward, with juicy blackberries and dark plum, complemented by subtle hints of baking spice. Its vibrant acidity provides balance to the ripe fruit, while firm tannins lend structure to the wine, creating a complex yet approachable profile. The finish is long and savory, leaving a lasting impression of depth and elegance. Perfect for cellaring or enjoying now, this limited production Petit Verdot is a true reflection of the diversity of our vineyard and the potential of this exceptional grape.
