This Napa Valley Petit Verdot is unbridled and wild, with brambles, cassis, dark berries, cured meats, pepper and spice. Full-bodied and tannic, it offers a core of black fruit, ripe tannins and a long, savory finish.

Close100% Petit Verdot
Food pairings: Grilled or roasted lamb, peppered steak, and other savory, robust red-meat dishes.
Winemaking: The 2022 was fermented with native yeasts only, aged 18 months in French oak barrels, and bottled unfined on April 29, 2024. Winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses made this as a rare unblended Petit Verdot.
Vineyards and terroir: The fruit is from the estate Petit Verdot block immediately adjacent to Brothers Vineyard, at about 800 feet on the eastern ridge of the Vaca Mountains in Napa Valley, on rhyolite (volcanic sand). The block is named for Levi Philander Davis, who homesteaded the ranch in 1878. Vines in the block were planted in 1962, 1981, and 2009. The 2022 fruit was hand-harvested on September 12, after a late-August heat wave.
Family and history: The Snowdens have farmed their vineyard high above the Napa Valley since 1955. Winemaking is in the hands of Diana Snowden Seysses. The estate is known for Bordeaux-variety wines from its hillside sites.
