Terra Sávia · Petit Verdot · Mendocino County, California · 2013

The Feeling

This is a wine for slowing down. Deep, grounded, and quietly expressive — a reminder that power doesn’t need to shout to be felt.

What It Tastes Like

Aroma
The nose opens with ripe plum, blueberry, and black cherry, layered with allspice, cocoa, and a subtle floral lift. There’s a stony, earthy edge underneath it all — giving the wine a sense of place and calm confidence.

Palate
Full-bodied and dense without feeling heavy. Juicy dark fruit leads, followed by savory spice and mineral tones shaped by extended maceration. The texture feels polished and settled, with warmth that unfolds slowly rather than all at once.

Structure
Firm but softened tannins give this wine backbone without grip. The acidity keeps things fresh, and the long finish carries hints of chocolate, dried herbs, and earth that linger gently.

Appearance
Naturally deep purple in the glass — rich, opaque, and unmistakably serious.

Why It’s Special

Petit Verdot is most often used as a blending grape. This is a rare 100% varietal bottling, allowing the grape’s full personality to shine — structured, aromatic, and deeply expressive after time in bottle.

Perfect With

• Grilled or roasted red meats

• Game dishes and slow-cooked stews

• Aged cheeses and savory boards

• Mushroom-forward dishes and hearty vegetables

This is a wine built for food, conversation, and evenings that don’t need a plan.

The Bottom Line

Bold, grounded, and beautifully evolved.
A wine that rewards patience — and good company.
