Palate

This 2013 Stanton Vineyards Petite Sirah appears to be more concentrated and even darker than recent vintages, and may require a little bottle age in order for the ample tannins to slightly soften.

Growing Conditions

Weather conditions during the 2013 growing season proved ideal, as the fruit was harvested about a week earlier than average.

Aging

Aged for 20 months in American and French oak barrels
