What to Expect
The Austin Wines introduces Petit Verdot and Merlot, two grapes with rich histories from Bordeaux. While their origins are unknown for this specific blend, both varieties bring distinct characteristics to the table—Petit Verdot offering a touch of structure and color, while Merlot's soft tannins and moderate acidity make it approachable and widely available in single-varietal wines across California and Virginia.
