Teeth-grabbing tannins help define this satin-lined, estate grown red. Notes of brambly wild blackberries follow, along with dried violets. Espresso, along with grapey flavors are delightful, and well partnered. A serious, muscle-bound Petite Sirah sporting mineral finesse.

Lake County’s rocky red volcanic soil, the 18-acre estate mountain biodynamically farmed vineyard’s high elevation up to 2,200 feet, results in a distinctively elegant expression of this teeth-clutching variety. Aromas of boysenberry, dark chocolate and brush lead to a finely grained texture with notes of dusted chocolate mint, violets and a sinewy, gliding finish of licorice and purple fruit.

2015 Petite Sirah / 94 Pts / Wine Review Online
A sturdy but approachable Petite Sirah that is more than worthy of your cellar. Blackberry, bold wood spice, firm grip and a long finish where the fruit shines through – it’s a classic tale that fans of the grape will recognize. Bravo! A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
2022 Petite Sirah / 92 Points / Wine Enthusiast
This wine has aromas of freshness, ripe dark berries, toasted oak, coriander, brown sugar, and notes of Sandalwood on the nose; the flavors are concentrated, and Black currant confiture, dried marjoram, and Black licorice are interlaced with black tea leaves, green olive, and supple silky dry tannins. Decant and pair with grilled bison burgers.
2021 Petite Sirah / 91 Points / James Suckling
The nose is rich and powerful, with aromas of black cherries, dark chocolate, roasted meat and licorice. The palate is rich and dense, with a full body, firm tannins and moderate acidity, displaying notes of blackberry jam, cassis and blood plums. Drink or hold.

This is a fantastic Petite Sirah from Lake County. Nearly oxblood in color, aromas of ripe blackberry and nutmeg give way to nuanced flavor profile. Notes of deep, dark chocolate, raspberry and spice give way to rich, velvety tannins. Pair with grilled steak with peppercorn sauce or chocolate souffle.
