J. McClelland Cellars Petit Verdot Napa Valley is a bold, full-bodied red wine from one of Napa Valley's boutique producers. The winery was founded as a joint venture between the Scotto family, a multigenerational winemaking dynasty, and industry pioneer John McClelland, who held senior leadership roles at Almaden and Geyser Peak wineries. Wines are crafted by Paul Scotto with consultant Mitch Cosentino, with a philosophy of balance and food-friendliness that showcases the grape variety rather than over-extraction.

Petit Verdot is a thick-skinned, late-ripening Bordeaux variety that thrives in Napa Valley's warm climate. This bottling delivers rich currant and dark berry flavors with notes of spice, violet, and earth, supported by a firm tannic structure and a long, flavorful finish. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, lending complexity and subtle wood notes. It pairs well with grilled red meats, lamb, hearty stews, and aged hard cheeses.
