Winemaking Notes:
- Zinfandel and Petite Sirah fruit harvested from mid-September to late-October
- Handpicked portion destemmed and crushed for warm fermentation
- Fermented in stainless steel tanks
- Malolactic fermentation for a softened mouthfeel
- Aged for 12 months in 25% new French oak
Tasting Notes:
Blending Petite Sirah into Zinfandel enhances perfume, color, and complexity. Aromas of violets, raspberry, and strawberry lead to a rich palate of briery fruit, brown spice, and vanilla, with hints of white pepper and oak. Soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a lingering finish.
