The Texas High Plains AVA Is One of the Largest AVAs in the U.S.

"Based in Comfort, Texas, this winery highlights the strength of Petit Verdot sourced from High Plains growers, praising the variety’s layered flavor complexity and rich black-cherry and dark-berry notes. Those characteristics make Petit Verdot stand out both as a single-varietal wine and as a blending grape, underscoring the High Plains’ suitability for robust red varietals." - Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle Amanda Ogle is a writer and editor who specializes in travel, food and drink, sustainability, and general lifestyle topics.
