Flavor Profile
Distinctive, complex and not without its quirks, Petit Verdot is the perfect red to honor Alfred Hitchcock, the Master of Suspense. This lesser-known red grape variety is often overshadowed by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in its native Bordeaux, but when given the chance to stand on its own, it really shines.
Petit Verdot reaches new levels of richness on location in California. This luscious example comes from Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). Just wait until you taste it...
It starts off with intense blueberry and raspberry flavors and has, like Hitchcock’s suspenseful films, a delightfully juicy finish. Serve it alongside savory red meats, hearty stews and more.
The only thing more thrilling than watching a Hitchcock film? Watching it with this deep, dark red in your glass. Secure yours today.
Classic Movie Pairing: The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Upon release, this mystery thriller set box office records in Great Britain and made Alfred Hitchcock one of Hollywood’s most sought after directors. Starring Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave, it tells the story of a young woman on vacation who tries to find an elderly friend that has seemingly disappeared without a trace. It pairs perfectly with this equally complex and thrilling Petit Verdot that will leave you enthralled.
