Craig Suveg's first Petit Verdot Riserva "Meet Your Maker" is making its debut in the Suveg Cellars Tasting Room on Saturday, Ocotber 29th!

Our 2017 vintage is the third time that Craig Suveg has made our 100% Petit Verdot, and it is in his words, "the best Petit Verdot I've made by far." The original 2017 Petit Verdot was aged 38 months in completely neutral French oak barrels. While barrel-tasting the Petit Verdot, Craig and Devin tried the wine that was aging in a sole 30-gallon French oak barrel. Both agreed that it was far superior to the Petit Verdot in 60-gallon barrels, and decided the wine from this barrel would be the Riserva. The wine spent an extra year in barrel, developing additional layers of complexity and roundness compared to its original release. The wine is rich with notes of blueberry, cherry liquor, earth, smoke, and hints of vanilla. With great drive and a present tannic backbone, the Petit Verdot Riserva can be enjoyed now or any time over the coming 10-15 years.

There are only 156 bottles of this wine made, so this wine is extremely limited in its production. Bottles will be sold to the Wine Club only.
