Tasting Notes:
On the nose blueberries and dark chocolate are the predominant aromatics with a touch of floral and spice. Flavors of blueberry, blackberry and black cherry commingle with hints of graham cracker and vanilla and a touch of white pepper. The well structured tannins produce a long silky finish with fruit to the end.
Production Notes:
While many winemakers treat Petite Sirah like Cabernet, Natalie West prefers gentle handling of her Estate Petite Sirah and goes as far as to treat it like her Pinot Noir. The Petite experiences a gentle press and is fermented in open top fermenters with punch downs three times a day.
