Decades 5 – 2011
Stagecoach Vineyard Napa Valley
Grapes: 100% Petit Verdot
Vineyard: Stagecoach Vineyard
Aging: Minimum 26 months in new French oak.
The wine producer Decades 5 uses exclusively the Petit Verdot grape. This grape is one of the blue grapes, although much overlooked in Bordeaux, among others. This wine from Decades 5 comes from the Stagecoach vineyard, which is one of the warmer blocks in the vineyard, giving this grape a long growing season where this variety can really shine through.
