Petit Verdot Petite Sirah
Available February 2025 – Reserve yours today!
Petit in name but big in flavour. Aromas of heady plum and soft vanilla set the tone. Black cherry and blackberry flavours lead the way, while undertones of warm blueberry and plum build with each sip. Lush and velvety with a long finish of dark fruit and spice.
Sitting in the middle of California’s Central Valley, Lodi sees warm days and cool nights and benefits from the breezes blowing inland from the Bay area. This climate helps lend grapes a refreshing natural acidity, while the rich, sandy soils and dry growing season promote more concentrated flavours.
This wine’s signature food pairing is peppercorn crusted beef tenderloin but it’s also a great match for grilled portobello mushrooms, and sharp Cheddar.

Varietal Petit Verdot
This classic Bordeaux grape may be small in name- but Petit Verdot is BIG in flavour! It is a respected blending grape with its bold flavours and expressions. Petit Verdot is also more and more respected as a single varietal wine in regions like Australia, Chile and California.
Varietal Petite Sirah
Originally discovered in France it is extremely rare and now grows mostly in California. Wine enthusiasts love it for full-bodied flavours, berry, chocolate and pepper notes. Despite its name- Petite Sirah is not related to Syrah/Shiraz.
Region Lodi, California
Grapes have long been a part of the Lodi landscape, where bountiful wild vines used to grow along riverbanks. From the first planted vines in the mid-1800s, the region has flourished into a world-class producer, with most of the land dedicated to red wine grape varieties. Lodi’s grapes benefit from a Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights, and a dry growing season which allows growers to precisely manage vine growth through irrigation. Two mountain-fed rivers run through the region bringing rich granite-based minerals to the soil which lend complex flavours to the grapes.
Sweetness Dry
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
Body Full
The big wines that can stand on their own. Often premium wines with higher tannins, alcohol levels and oaking levels as they all factor in a bigger tasting wine.
Oak Medium-Heavy
Medium-Heavy oak provides a subtle oak character in heavier red wines.
