Critic tasting note: "Soft and fruity, this offers wave after wave of ripe fruit, spice, mocha, leather and oak flavors. The tannins are big, as you'd expect from Petite Sirah, but you can drink it now." - 87/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Producer Notes
- Petite Sirah is a varietal that is enhanced by the deliberate diversity of our vineyard sites. Grapes from the vineyards located on our estate's deep, rocky soils make up the backbone of this Napa Valley Petite Sirah. Carefully selected fruit from both northern vineyards in Calistoga and St. Helena and southern vineyards in Oakville, Oak Knoll and Coombsville are added to intensify and broaden the wine's profile to include floral, spice and fruit characteristics.

- Winemaking
-
Continuing the same time-honored techniques that have made Petite Sirah one of our winery’s staples, Winemaker Christophe Paubert practiced simple and traditional methods to show the uniqueness of the Petite Sirah fruit. Avoiding over extraction, the wine went through a relatively short maceration period (9-12 days on average) that included fermentation. The final blend included small amounts of Syrah, Grenache and other mixed Rhone varietals to bring further complexity to the finished wine.

- Ageing
-
The wine aged for 14 months in American oak barrels (25% new), allowing the spiciness of the oak to complement the natural spice character of the varietal.

The growing season began with a wet spring for most regions, although Sonoma remained dry, and heavy May rains helped to rejuvenate the drought-stricken soils. Regions like Central Coast saw nasty ...
