The grapes for our 2012 Petite Sirah were harvested between October 17 - 21, 2012, with an average Brix of 25.9. After fermenting on the skins for 6-9 days, the must was pressed and the resulting wine finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
The 2012 vintage is vivid purple in color, with aromas of full toned blackberry and Boysenberry. Caramel and toffee are evident in the bouquet, as well as a chocolate oak profile. The wine is substantial, yet has a rich soft cream texture of mocha. Very elegant and full of ripe black fruit flavors of blackberry and blueberry. These fruit flavors are savoured in the lingering mouthwatering finish.
A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Merlot, the 2016 IGP Principaute d’Orange A Cote was raised entirely in concrete. It's a dark, plummy red, with ample depth and concentration, a velvety mouthfeel and a long finish. It's not the most complex red, but at $15 retail, it's a terrific bargain in a ready-to-drink red.
