This 100% Petite Sirah aged in 28% new oak. The 2017 Petite Sirah is deep purple-black in the glass and explosive on the nose, with violet and lilac, blueberry and tar scents over an impenetrable core of blackcurrants plus accents of charred meats, spices, flowers and bitter chocolate. Full-bodied, it’s a behemoth in the mouth, opening to plum notes, with a straight jacket of very firm, very chewy tannins and just enough freshness to counter the density. 151 cases were made.
