2007 Petite Sirah

The majority of fruit for our Petite Sirah is Estate grown. Harvest Dates were between September 28th and October 6, 2007 with an average Brix at Harvest of 27.5. The grapes were fermented in Stainless Steel and pressed after 7-9 days of fermentation. The resulting wine was aged in a combination of new and used, French and American oak for 4 months.

Dark purple in color, with a bright hue, the 2007 McManis Family Vineyards Petite Sirah has a dense, jammy Boysenberry aroma, which is accompanied by a creamy vanilla and slightly smoky character. The wine is soft and round on the palate and is full of big, juicy, dark berry fruit flavors. A long fruit finish is accompanied by hints of milk chocolate.
