From the Grower

"This Petite Sirah wine is a Rhone-style red with an intense color and deep hues of red. Although its alcohol level gives it a bolder and warmer taste, it is a smooth wine with a light structure and floral blueberries notes. On the palate, we find blackberry, cacao and cardamom. This is a well balanced wine with rounded tannins and savory qualities that make surprisingly easy to drink."

Additional Information

This wine comes from grapes harvested during the deadly 2017 fire that occurred in Redwood Valley when we had to run for our lives in the middle of the night, right before harvest! We decided to come back several days later when the wind had changed direction. We were able to pick the fruits with a crew of friends and brave volunteers. We sometimes can taste the smoke in the wine, and that reminds us of the gargantuesque red wall of fire galloping towards us on that momentous night.
