Nose
Opens with notes of blackberry, blueberry and cardamom.
Palate
The rich and plush mouthfeel is complemented by a
balanced tannic structure with jammy and spicy notes on the
palate. Well-balanced and imposing, this wine is ready to
drink but will also age beautifully.
Growing Conditions
The 2014 vintage in Napa Valley was one of the earliest
harvested vintages in years. A warm spring led to early bud
break and created the perfect environment for flowering and
fruit set. With warm days and cool nights, our team was able
to maintain ideal acid levels with optimum, bright fruit
flavors.
Our Small Lot Collection Petite Sirah and Malbec grapes
come from our Biodynamically and organically grown Estate
vineyards as well as from a northern Napa Valley vineyards
in the hills at around 1200ft elevation.
This vintage is sold out.
Winemaking
Fermentation took
place for 12-16 total days on the skins in Stainless Steel
tanks.
Aging
This Petite Sirah is 100% barrel-aged for 18 months
in French oak and 25% new French oak (Berthomieu).
Appearance
This 2014 Small Lot Petite Sirah is an inky, robust wine.
Food Pairing
The perfect
complement to a delicious marbled steak.
