76% Grenache and 24% Petite Sirah. 46 cases produced. Some wines take longer to come together in the bottle than others, this one really took its time. Bottled 2 years ago, we are only releasing it right now as it is ready to drink! The Petite make its mark on this blend by adding just enough of its muscle to the more delicate Grenache. It gives the wine more dark fruit while also reinforcing the tannin structure with out overpowering the beauty of the Grenache which is all its red fruit and layers of subtle and unexpected flavors. They balance and compliment each other to perfection here.
