About the wine
Special bottling to showcase a Petit Verdot that's so delicious you won't believe your taste buds.
- Rutherford is the kind of world-renowned sub-appellation that instantly raises the price of a Napa Cab by $20-$40 because the well-drained gravelly soils with volcanic deposits lend such a characteristic quality to big, bold Cabernet grown there.
- Matt is an extremely well-connected winemaker in the Napa Valley, from his time overseeing the winemaking at Beringer, Stags' Leap and others. So he pulled some strings and got some of the most insanely sought-out Petit Verdot from a vineyard that we cannot name. I can't even tell you the high end brands it usually goes into because you'd be able to figure out the vineyard instantly.
- Petit Verdot would normally get blended into a bigger Cabernet-based wine, but this was so spectacular, Matt said he wanted to do a special bottling and keep it separate to showcase the unique fruit. Angel-funding gave him the freedom to do exactly that.
Best before
We've aged it for a year, but the wine will greatly benefit from aging 2-3 more years. Wait until 2017 if you can and it will still taste robust and be focused on ripe fruit. If you wait even longer, the wine can develop more aged flavors.
Serving advice
Please don't open casually. I highly advise decanting or pouring a glass and letting the bottle breathe for an hour.
Food match
Slow cooked short ribs, falling off the bone. A rich, creamy sauce.
Contains sulphites
Always check the label
