Deep, dense, and inky Petit Verdot from the Stag Canyon Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. The wine opens with black cherry and mediterranean herbs on the nose. Picked at the peak ripeness in early November, destemmed and fermented on the skins for 14 days before aging in barrel for 18 months. The wine is full bodied, dark, with deep dark fruit flavors. Stag Canyon's corner of Los Olivos has the ideal microclimate for producing exceptional bordeux varieties.
