“A true Vintner’s Select wine that showcases what Smith Wooton stands for. This wine is made in minuscule quantities as part of our boutique collection that highlights the quality of specific vineyard sites in California.
This wine was born out of a desire to produce a wine that pairs with some of our favorite comfort foods. Imagine a wine with beautiful violet and lilac notes on the nose followed by a rich earthy density reminiscent of truffle or mushroom. There is nothing petiet about Petit Verdot.
