2006 Petite Sirah
Winemaking Notes
Grapes were harvested between September 20th and October 10th at an average Brix of 25.7. After 7-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the must was pressed and the resulting wine was left to finish fermentation in the tank. Aged for 4 months in a combination of new and used french oak.
Tasting Notes
The 2006 Petite Sirah is deep purple in color with a bright hue. The nose is of jammy Boysenberry intertwined with Creme brulee and a subtle smokiness. Dense ripe fruit flavors are abundant. The finish is long and succulent.
