The Tasting Panel, March/April 2022
The blend of 63% Petite Sirah, 33% Syrah, 3% Grenache, 1% Viognier comes in at 15.3% ABV. This single vineyard Biodynamic estate cuvée is sourced from ridge-top knolls exceeding 2,000 feet in elevation. Well-built and dynamic; this power-driven with chewy tannins. A wave of dried violets and espresso march through a field of spiced blueberries, layered with chocolate cake and graphite. Aged for 18 months in 100% (35% new) French oak. – Meridith May
