Mission Codename A touch of elegance
Today’s Sempre Vive Petit Verdot is a prime example of master winemaking at its finest - and how a little blending can go a long way. Not thrilled with her single varietal Petit Verdot, winemaker Alison Doran decided to add a touch of fruit from her Old Vine Cabernet. And, boy, did she blend a winner!
Beautifully layered and incredibly rich, today’s wine is the best of both varietals: power packed with flavor, yet with a smooth and supple mouthfeel that keeps you reaching for more. Fans of Sempre Vive Cabernet Sauvignon will find that today’s wine hits many of the same (delicious!) notes.
We heartily recommend you give today’s 97 Pointer a try. At nearly 40% off, there’s no reason to wait!
