Winemaker Comments:
This Petite Sirah is characterized by a deep, inky color that is dense and dark. Aromas of black cherry, cigar box, sandalwood and spice leap from the glass. A few more swirls reveal a subtle black pepper and earthy nuance. On the palate, the wine is robust with concentrated flavors of blackberry, mocha, and espresso. The tannins are firm, but not overpowering, and there is a silky texture to the wine which plays nicely with the subtle spicy components and earthy characters. The finish is velvety and smooth with a long and lingering aftertaste.
