Tasting Notes: Aromas of earthy dark fruit of blueberry and blackberry. Savory spices on the mid palate with that Petite Sirah grippy varietal fruit. Well balanced wine made in the European Old World style to accompany red meat dishes. This a 15 to 20 year ager.

Vineyard Notes
86% is grown in our estate vineyard at the winery in the Shenandoah Valley, Amador County. This vineyard is a high elevation decomposed granite soil. Extremely low yields from these highly stressed mountain vineyards produce first growth quality fruit. The harvest of 2019 produced a small crop (only 50%) of exceptional flavor. Grapes came in with small bunches and berry size allowing for a more extractive vintage.
