Nose
Our densely textured Petite Sirah exibits aromas of vanilla laced French toast.
Palate
Lush flavors of blueberry and chocolate and a long silky finish.
Winemaking
Our Petite Sirah underwent a 5-day cold-soak followed by a warm fermentation. The tannic nature of the grape doesn’t lend to extended maceration; we pressed the pomace at 1.5 Brix only using the free-run juice for the final wine. Malo-lactic fermentation was done in barrel; the wine was racked once post-malo and once pre-bottling.
Aging
The wine spent 18 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which were new.
Appearance
Deep red in color with vibrant purple hues.
Food Pairing
Serve with grilled meats, hearty stews, and hard cheeses.
