This "petite" vineyard site is a single acre, located on the bench lands of western Dry Creek Valley and producing wines that are rich and fruit-forward.Sweepstakes & Best Overall Red Wine by San Francisco Chronicle in 2013, this wine is oftentimes blended with a touch of Zinfandel for optimum color and enjoyment.
Critical Acclaim: Wine & Spirits Magazine | "From a modern planting of petite sirah, now 15 years old and reaching its stride, this is a clean and savory powerhouse. Its bold layers of red and black fruit build in spice notes of cardamom and Christmas cake, even as the tannins feel youthfully austere. A keeper, this should develop well over the next ten years." —J.G. (130 cases)
Tasting Notes: The nose lends to dark stewed fruit, spice, and a subtle hint of oak. The palate has deep, delicious flavors of brambly berries, macerated plum, ripe blackberry, and white pepper. The silky texture is balanced by a spice-driven finish.
