Fruit & Spice Dunningham Hills Petit Verdot 2018

Petit Verdot might be one of Bordeaux’s star reds, but this deep, dark grape variety also thrives in sunny California. Taste for yourself with this plush, fruit-rich release.

Fruit & Spice hails from the under-the-radar Dunnigan Hills region. Located in the northern part of the Central Valley, Dunnigan Hills benefits from a Mediterranean climate, with warm days that ripen grapes to perfection and chilly nights that preserve vibrancy. Light, cool winds from the Sacramento Delta also help lock in freshness.

In short, Dunnigan Hills is an ideal spot for viticulture, especially in a fantastic vintage like 2018 (yet another in a string of superb Gold State harvests). Fun fact: UC Davis, which has one of the world’s top winemaking programs, is located only a short drive away!

As the name implies, Fruit & Spice overflows with ripe dark berry flavors, plus hints of baking spice and mocha coffee. Delicious on its own but even better with food—try charcuterie plates, roasted red meats or hearty pastas.

This luscious Petit Verdot is a must-taste for fans of rich, complex reds. Especially since it won the bronze at the San Francisco International Wine Competition. Secure your share today.
