"This vintage of Petite Sirah is expressive and alluring with a fragrant fruit-forward nose of ripe blackberry, black raspberry, black cherry, and stewed strawberries. The palate is full and robust with notes of blackberry preserves, dark plum and subtle hints of Black Mission fig. Intriguing oak spice notes provide a sense of warmth with delicate flavors of vanilla, caramel, and cedar. There’s a beautiful rusticity to this wine with notes of earth and floral dried rose petal and violet. The mouthfeel is buoyant and bright with juicy acidity and an abundance of dark berry fruit. Rounded tannins provide a balanced structure leading to a long and pleasing finish." —winemaker
