- The Yarden Petit Verdot presents appealing red and black fruit characters, with hints of anise, flowers and fresh herbs. Dark purple in color, and with a structure typical to the variety, this full-bodied Petit Verdot displays good flavor concentration. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which were new. Though ready to drink now, the Yarden Petit Verdot will improve in the bottle over the next few years, and should remain in excellent drinking condition for years to come. Pairing: Pair this wine with rich dishes such as barbeque beef short ribs, lamb stew, or an assortment of aged cheeses.
