Winemaker’s Notes:

Our Petite Sirah hails from Stone Tree Vineyard in the heart of the Wahluke Slope AVA and exemplifies the luscious fruit and power that this vineyard is so well known for. Bound by the Columbia River and the Saddle Mountains, the rapid cooling in the evening helps retain naturally high levels of acidity, which in turn preserves the varietal characters of the grape.

Get ready - this wine starts big, stays big and finishes big!

Drink Date: 2023 - 2029 Coming from the Stone Tree vineyard, the 2020 Wahluke Slope Petit Sirah, made with 2% Syrah, is chewy and dense in the glass with hints of herbs, oak and black-fruited aromatics. Full-bodied, the palate is firm in texture, reminiscent of bitter dark chocolate, before ending with a food-friendly nature that will show best when paired with steaks and chops. The wine aged in 25% new Wisconsin oak. 10,560 bottles were produced. Reviewed by: Anthony Mueller
