Petit Verdot
Basics:	Found mainly in the temperate Bordeaux region St.Emilion subdistrict and used to make a red wine later blended with other famous Bordeaux varietal wines.
Grower   Comments: (by County)	CARROLL: Grows nicely here. FREDERICK: Easy to grow and ripen, but definitely a blender. QUEEN ANNE'S: Consistent, good ripening, dark color, rich flavor. Can be too strong if not blended with another variety. Does well/high yields.
Growing   Recommendations:	Trailing growth pattern. Maybe the easiest of the Bordeaux varieties to grow in the Mid-Atlantic region.
Winery   Considerations:	Higher Acidity than Cab Sauv. Used to add color and complexity in blends. Extremely popular in Virginia as a varietal.
