2016 Herrera Valeria Petit Verdot
Vineyard Notes
Mother Nature was generous and mild in 2016, gracing Napa
Valley with a near-perfect growing season. Moderate weather
throughout July and August was followed by slightly warmer
temperatures as harvest inched closer, bringing the grapes to
optimum ripeness before being hand harvested in mid-October.
Production Notes
Rolando’s goal is to embrace the true character of this varietal and
not squander its natural bold structure. As much tannin is extracted
as possible before being aged in 100% new French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes
The deeply concentrated color of this wine alludes to its rich
character and multi-faceted nature. Complex aromas abound
from the glass with notes of ripe dark fruits, blackberry, black
plum, blueberry; hints of warm cedar, cinnamon, molasses, cocoa
and vanilla.
Upon entry your senses are awakened with bold ripe juicy tannins
that introduce flavors of mouth-watering black currant, blackberry
jam and cassis all ensconced in layers of sweet toasty oak.
Food Pairing Notes
Perfect for any hearty meal, Rolando’s perfect pairing is grilled
duck marinated in rosemary and black pepper, finished off with a
smoked gouda or well-aged cheddar cheese.
