This Petite Sirah originates from an older block in the estate that includes Grenache, Mouvedre, Carignan, Syrah and Peloursin into the 85% Petite Sirah wine. This spent 12 months in American oak (25% new). There are aromas of green peppercorn, black olive, black tea and anise. There are flavors of Turkish coffee, dark chocolate, blueberry compote, anise and cassis in a mineral driven style. Rich and viscous, this will have a long life in the cellar.
