2021 Petite Sirah, Napa Valley
81% Petite Sirah, 17% Zinfandel, 2% “Mixed Blacks” field blend of red grapes
The nose reveals a melange of black raspberry, tree-ripened Santa Rosa plum, and cigar tobacco. Medium-plus to full-bodied, the wine unfolds with layers of black cherry preserves, vanilla, and hints of garrigue framed by a careful selection of Fusion barrel oak; savory notes imparted by the American oak, Hungarian oak elevates Petite Sirah's spice, and the French oak affords the wine a smooth and luxurious vanilla-scented finish.
