  2012 CONSILIENCE SANTA BARBARA COUNTY PETITE SIRAH- sourced from 3 different vineyards, 81% La Presa, 15% Estelle and 4% Terra Alta; made by good friend Brett Escallera who has been with the winery since inception and stayed on after the initial owners, also good friends, sold to Bill and Jan Sanger; the dark inky colour was indicative of some serious juice here and it definitely complied; it had a huge bouquet of black spicy fruit followed by black pepper, spice, dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice flavoured blackberry and blueberry; it had a backbone of bright acidity and bold tannins which will support longevity as it moves toward maturity in abut 10-15 years
