DRY FARM
CALIFORNIA VERDOT
Dry of inspiration, California is seeking a new varietal. A farm that grows a fresh voice representing diversity in wine drinking options currently dominated by two or three ubiquitous grapes. Change comes in the form of Petit Verdot – a dark colored, deeply intense grape that produces full-bodied, spicy wines of palate intensity and flavor concentration.
