Nose
Smoky and minerally on the nose.
Palate
Well coated tannins integrate on the palate with black currant and plum fruit. Finishes with notes of eucalyptus and mint.
Growing Conditions
Mild August weather created ideal ripening conditions for the petite sirah at Lytton West. The six vineyard blocks were fermented separately for seven days.
Winemaking
We selected two hillside parcels to bring depth and texture to the young vines block. After twelve months of barrel aging, tannins have integrated and the wine is beginning to soften.
Appearance
Opaque purple in color.
