“V” highlights the Petit Verdot grape with this very dense, almost inky color and very high natural acidity, from the VIADER estate.  Each year “V” is blended and aged over two years in 1000% new French oak barrels with one of its more recognized cousins, Cabernet Sauvignon to showcase the excellent expression of the variety coming from our rocky hillside vineyard during that season.  Due to the very small size of the Petit Verdot plantings at VIADER, this wine will always be short on production, but quite long on personality.
