2017 Texas Petit Petite
Petit Sirah and Petit Verdot are richly colored and flavored French varieities that have been doing extremely well in Texas. They are wonderful blending components, but can be rich, jammy, and bold on their own. In 2017, we decided to showcase these grapes and offer something with a very different flavor profile from any of our other wines.
