2006 Petite Sirah
The visual appeal of this dark purple wine fills your glass with beauty and is accompanied by aromas of fresh leather and tobacco, layered by hints of vanilla. The full mouth feel is approachable with elegant tannins that melt into flavors of bacon fat and dark berry fruits. Enjoy the power of this wine now or lay it down for the next 5 to 7 years.

| Vinification: |
This was one of our first wines that we approached as 4 different lots. We first hand picked, destemmed and fermented. After primary fermentation we bled the free run juice off of each lot and then basket pressed the fruit keeping the wines separate from each lot. Each lot possessed different color aromas & mouth feel. We then blended the wines to create a wine that was sophisticated in its youth yet possessed enough tannin for ageability. |
