Tasting Notes:

Like two beautiful melodies, this wine blends the opulent, dark fruit notes of Petite Sirah with the earthy, spicy notes of Tempranillo creating a decadently harmonious wine.    

Winemaker’s Notes:

We started making this blend in 2005 with the less romantic, more direct name: Tempranillo-Petite Sirah.  While we changed the name, the blend remains the same blend of Tempranillo and Petite Sirah.  Both varieties are very different, but come together incredibly harmoniously in this blend.  The Petite Sirah comes from the Elk Grove vineyard, while the Tempranillo is grown in Sage. 

Food Pairing Ideas:

fennel crusted lamb chops, rosemary roasted pork loin or duck confit
