(Update: Our 2005 Petite Sirah is coming mid 2007!)

Big bold flavors of black brambly fruit and warm blackberry, this heavy hitting Petite Sirah is full bodied with subtle tannins that bring a long lasting finish. Hints of tobacco and leather make this spicy Petite one mouth puckering experience. By no way is this wine petite, but hey, what's in a name, it's what's in your glass that counts!

Bring on the barbeque ribs, flame grilled steaks and any hearty meat dish you can think of with this Petite Sirah.

The Clarksburg appellation is known for producing top quality Petite Sirah, mainly due to its ideal climate. As the Sacramento Valley heats up during the day, it pulls in the cool maritime breeze from the bay, which allows warm summer days and cool evenings. We take special care in all aspects of our grape growing from deficit irrigation, to precise pruning techniques to handpicking at harvest.

Grapes were hand harvested and gently crushed into a fermentation tank. Wine was fermented at warm temperatures using a pump over technique. With some extended maceration, the wine was pressed away from the skins and allowed to settle. The wine was racked off gross lees and aged in mostly neutral oak barrels for more than 18 months.
