69% Zinfandel, 18% Petite Sirah, 11% Carignan, 2% Mataro. Some of the Petite Sirah vines were planted in 1901. Five different soil types. Typically assembled soon after pressing. 16-18% new American oak. Quarterly racking – more often than most of their peers. Aged in bottle before release.
Very dark purplish crimson. Very fresh and focused on the nose. Great claret-like structure. Proper complex wine.
