This wine offers deep aromas and delicious flavors of ripe blackberries, violets, chocolate, toasty vanilla, tar and spice. Untypical of many of today’s Petite Sarah’s, this wine is  round, smooth and displays rich tannins that leads to long, lingering finish.

Mendocino County is the largest producer of Petite Sirah in the north coast of California. Our Petite Sirah comes from a combination of old vine vineyards and new high-tech vineyards scattered throughout the benchlands and hillsides of Mendocino County.
