2019 Solar Fortún Petit Verdot Baja California

This 100% Petit Verdot comes from Solar Fortún which is deep in the northern part of the Valle de Guadalupe known as Francisco Zarco. This estate winery was established by Dr. José Alberto Lopez, a doctor of physics and astronomy, in 2007. Alberto had been making wine on the side for 30 years but decided it was time to fully embrace his passion project. He was joined by his son Santiago in 2012, who had just finished his oenology diploma at UC Davis. On their sandy, gravelly alluvial soils they grow Cabernet, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Petit Verdot.
