Recognition
It’s a cruel and harsh world. A world where clients sometimes commission high-end custom wine from an expensive winemaker, but then the client cannot deliver on their end of the bargain and so the deal falls through.
Fortunately for you, Claudine Wines is here to pick up the pieces and turn someone else’s misfortune into your lucky day! Originally intended to be part of a custom blend, when this juice was left homeless, we got a call. The winemaker, a true up-and-comer on the progressive side of the California wine scene, told us this Petite Verdot was so good it needed to stand on its own. We were super skeptical at first, but once we got the samples we could not agree more! We think you’ll love being part of this growing wine movement where lesser-known varietals are not blended, but allowed to shine all on their own.
Tasting Notes
Long known as a supporting cast member, the Petit Verdot varietal is full-bodied with ample character and has been the behind-the-scenes player in some of the world’s most coveted blends, particularly in the Bordeaux region of France.
Recently, however, some of the more progressive winemakers in the world have begun to recognize this grape’s true value and are making it the star of the show. Boy did we luck up and get connected with one of the best upcoming (and progressive) winemakers in California on this one! Featuring a fantastic bouquet and notes of black cherry, blackberry, and violet. This is a super smooth fruit-forward wine, with high tannins on the finish. And at this price point, we think this Petit Verdot could quite possibly be the perfect Tuesday night wine!

More Wines You Might Like…
2016 Russian River Syrah
-
This wine is everything that Syrah should be - bold without being jammy. On the nose, concentrated blackberries. The big fruit is structured with medium tannins and hints of bacon fat and white pepper on the finish.
Best paired with: Grilled meats & vegetables (lamb is the classic pairing), beef stew, comfort food and a cool fall evening.
2016 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir
-
On the nose, dark red fruit and hillside florals explode from the glass. This full-bodied pinot boasts blackcurrants, plum, vanilla and a touch of black pepper on the finish. The finish is impressively long – a fantastic wine!
Best paired with: Friends who like to drink exceptional red wine and anything from cool nights & campfires to warm summer sunsets by the lake. Veggies-on-the-grill, shrimp-and-grits, hamburgers, or even your local butcher’s best cut of filet mignon, this wine has the ability to complement nearly anything you care to cook Monday-Sunday. It has a foundation that will make it a much-loved favorite and the complexity that will impress even your most diehard Cabernet-loving friends.
2018 Proprietary Red Blend
-
Blackberry and peppercorn on the tongue. Leather and tobacco on the nose. This wine pairs well with fireplaces, oversize steaks, and men with amazing beards. Although, none of the above is required to enjoy this proprietary blend.
Peppery, but still smooth on the tongue. This blend is high in tannins and big in body, so you’ll want to decant before enjoying!
