Vintage Notes
With the exceptional 2016 rainfall and robust rains in early 2017 our soils have become better balanced. These rains help remove minerality buildup that has been accumulating over the recent drought years. Overall 2017 was a great growing season, the grapes experienced some high heat in early September although, they returned to a normal ripening cycle by the beginning of October, making for a very good harvest.
Vineyard Notes
The grapes that make up this Petite Sirah come from our Heritage
Vineyard on the right of our winery entrance. This special vineyard has been planned to Petite Sirah since 1883. Last replanted in 2003, the vines are still head trained.
