2021 Petite Sirah, Napa Valley
The nose reveals a melange of black raspberry, tree-ripened Santa Rosa plum, and cigar tobacco. Medium-plus to full-bodied, the wine unfolds with layers of black cherry preserves, vanilla, and hints of garrigue framed by a careful selection of Fusion barrel oak; savory notes imparted by the American oak, Hungarian oak elevates Petite Sirah's spice, and the French oak affords the wine a smooth and luxurious vanilla-scented finish.

Winemaker Notes
The fruit for this Petite Sirah was sourced from old-vine plantings in Calistoga and Pope Valley areas of the Napa Valley, where a myriad of soil types, coupled with warmer temperatures, help the grapes develop rich and balanced character. A third component is our estate-grown Mixed Blacks field blend vineyard, which is comprised of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan.
