Tasting Notes

This vintage of Petite Sirah is expressive and alluring with a fragrant fruit-forward nose of ripe blackberry, black raspberry, black cherry, and stewed strawberries. The palate is full and robust with notes of blackberry preserves, dark plum and subtle hints of Black Mission fig. Intriguing oak spice notes provide a sense of warmth with delicate flavors of vanilla, caramel, and cedar. There’s a beautiful rusticity to this wine with notes of earth and floral dried rose petal and violet. The mouthfeel is buoyant and bright with juicy acidity and an abundance of dark berry fruit. Rounded tannins provide a balanced structure leading to a long and pleasing finish.

Elaine Chukan Brown, Wine Enthusiast, April 2025

"Robust and flavorful, this wine celebrates the generosity of Petite Sirah with flavors of spices, bergamot, chopped dates and a squeeze and zest of citrus."

      Vintage Notes
      The first half of the 2022 harvest started calm and early, with healthy vineyards offering fruit with bright acidity, fruit-forward flavors, and strong yields for white varietals and thin-skinned reds, like Pinot Noir. Then, California experienced a historic heat wave in early September that ramped up the pace of ripening, compelling a fast and furious harvest as winemakers worked to pick fruit at its best quality. Fortunately, strong vines and proactive irrigation helped many vineyards survive the heat. The second half was much more predictable with cooler temperatures through October, so that later-ripening red varieties, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, could develop their full flavor and tannin profile.
